Take a Look at the Flowers Along the Path
Small, beautiful things can turn out to be big, beautiful things
While walking through life, the most beautiful things are the flowers along the path. Walking through a dense forest leads to an open field full of wildflowers. You may have been in such a field. Some people walk across the fields and miss the beauty because they focus on getting to the end of the path.
What are those flowers in life? Everyone needs to find out for themselves. To me, it's the little things, like my family's laughter or a joyful friend.
Sometimes, these little things turn out to be huge ones. One time, when I was doing some woodworking in the garage and looking out into the garden, I had this intense feeling that everything was there just for me. All the green trees, hedges, and sky, with its blue and white colors, looked so wonderful at that moment.
The sensation that everything was meant for me felt profoundly connected, as if life was a gift tailored just for me—a moment filled with grace.
These are the flowers along the way, the joyful ones. Sometimes, they are tiny; other times, they are like a field of roses.
