Oh, dear Inda, this is the perfect Sunday message!
I have read a couple of books treating this theme too .... slow down, slow down. And it is so true, if we never stop to breathe life just moves ahead and we find ourselves suddenly old ... wondering finally what it was all about.
WONDERFUL MESSAGE!
And as it is a Sunday I have just done what you suggest: Together with my husband we went to the Park, we walked and then we sat on a bench ... he read and I knitted (for Simon of course), then we talked and I listened to the trees ..... and this haiku is what came out of it:
Today in the Park
Nature held its breath to hear
the trees chat of love
Villa Ada in Rome
Thank you dear Inda, I soooo agree!
But sometimes it is difficult to achieve. I keep trying.
Love, Margherita
