Gifted Reminder
~~~
Five rounded rocks stacked neatly
In sparse random parking lot
A Zen struck so completely
In this unusual spot
~~~
Who with great care took the time
Kneeling in this busy place
To erect this token shrine
Bringing balance to this space
~~~
Reminded each time I look
A life that is much kinder
Grateful for the time they took
Gifted daily reminder
~~~

Life should be kind, kinder, ordered, disciplined, balanced…a very good work to reflect upon this Sunday morning. Cheers my friend for the good thoughts and all the best.
Thank you, my friend!
Always a pleasure my friend!
I enjoy seeing the little painted rocks now and again – someone took the time to paint them and hope to start a journey for where they go as people pick them up and move them elsewhere. In its own odd little way, it connects strangers in a positive light.
It is in the small things that we find the biggest connections. Love you, sis!
what a lovely gift they left. i love finding things like this in unexpected places
They ae the best. Thanks, Beth!
I first remember seeing these all over the place in Hawaii, perhaps 10 years ago or so. What a beautiful tribute you have given these little works of art…
Thank you, Jim!
I love coming across these in the most unexpected of places.
Me too. Thank you, Pete!
What a fitting tribute to these shrines I have grown accustomed to seeing. We have tried adding some primitive renderings from time to time.
Perfect reminders of the balance we should seek in our own lives. Thank you, Geoff!
How sweet and baby’s breath. What a lovely piece about how we are affected by the small kind, tender and thoughtful unexpected gifts. I wish the world was more balanced but we have ourselves to work on. Beautiful poem and happy Monday to you Brad. Sending you big hugs and lots of love ❤️ Jonikins
Thank you, Jonikins! Love and hugs in return! 🌹
You are so welcome Brad. 🤗❤️🦋💕
