You are here —
please notice
the colors in the grass
and the way the air is moving

There may be swallows darting
and deer walking and watching,
there probably are turkeys

You may be headed somewhere
but you are also here —
please fill your senses
and let your heart breathe.
You are here —
please go slow and notice.
