110/365 - Protocol

 

Go for a walk

Step out your front door

and into the sun;

into the rain;

into the wind;

into the fog;

into the dawn of the day

painted pink on the horizon;

the bright white of high noon;

the whispered hush of the fallen night

Go for a walk

Meander through the neighborhood

and take notice

that's the important part

the noticing

Notice the roses

so loved

so fawned over

trimmed, and watered,

and fed precisely on schedule

Notice the dandelions

so scraggly

forcing their fuzzy

sunshine heads

through the cracks

where the sidewalk

meets the asphalt

Notice

and smile

that's the important part

the smiling
