Robert Herrick said it beautifully
“Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.
”
Perhaps for you it conjures to mind the beautiful Waterhouse painting, fair maidens picking blooms.For me it brings to mind the way Melody and I met. That, Friends, is a story you will hear in more detail at a later time, but today I want to show you. I invited her some time ago to be part of an activity, one that I remember her laughing a bit and asking several times for clarification as to what I meant.
"Melody, I want you to take readers on a walk. Head out away from your doorstep for 20 minutes, then simply walk them back."
It seemed too simple. But after many moments chatting through the idea we agreed it was exactly that simple.
We all love beautiful things. Sometimes we see others enjoying those moments and we want to learn, rather we want to be helped to understand how we can enjoy those moments too.
So Dear Ones, enjoy the moment.
