Practicing presence, I notice the beauty
Of the flowers, in my life
I stop to savor, to appreciate
The gifts, the labors of love
Planted in fertile soil prepared by
The author and perfector of faith
Hope and love; breath of life
Fills my heart, spirit and soul

Dan,
I missed participating in the Six Word Friday for the weeks I didn’t do it. I just had trouble overcoming the internal and external demons and goblins for a little bit. I was almost afraid my inspiration to be able to participate had fled for good. Glad I was wrong.
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings,
Kina

Some friends and I were walking in a park once, and I stopped to smell some roses (because I loooove roses), and one of my friends said, “Look, Mary’s become a cliche.” Just thought I’d share that.

Your mindful poem made me stop, relax, and focus on my gratitude today. Although I don’t read poetry much, focusing on it helped me to be mindful.
Thanks for your lovely sentiment-

Interestingly, I’ve never been much of a reader of poetry myself, despite the fact I had periods in my younger years where I would write a fair amount of it.
Were it not for the Six Word Friday prompts sent to me each week, I would seldom, if ever write it now.
Having those prompts sent to me early in the week has had the effect of putting me into a more mindful and aware state. I’m glad to know that is passed on to others when they read it.
I truly appreciate that you came back to comment.
Blessings,
Kina

It really is. Depending in what’s going on in our lives – external and internal – it can literally save your life.

I’ve been so dry and uninspired over the previous few prompts I was somewhat fearful my Six Day Friday participation had run it’s course.
Thanks for sharing yours.
