My walking shoes are by the door, and the water bottle is filled, but my plan to wander somewhere quiet and scenic is derailed by a phone call that needed my full focus and lasted an hour!

And somehow the walk never happens 🙁.

The side garden. It is not manicured... just random potted plants. It is overgrown, and it is charming in a certain way. Each plant has its own little drama.

I didn't get to walk for miles, but I do wander...
I investigate the leaves and trace them with my fingers... calling their names, remembering their stories, noting which plants lean toward each other and which ones stand boldly and rebelliously alone... crouching down to find new sprouts, like it's a treasure.

It's sort of walking, a slowww kind of walking. There is movement, as if I have traveled (even if it is just a few feet from my back door, 😂 LOL.

Knowing the space so intimately is deeply satisfying! I know which plants get the most sun or which soil stays damp after the rain.

I've watched tiny plants become full-grown, shamelessly showing off, and mourned numerous times the quiet fading of rose blooms... they had their moment and gracefully bowed out.

No, I haven't gone walking today. But I've wandered through the green chaos of my garden. I think I understand the language of leaves and so listened to the gossip and chitchat of petals! I've felt the pulse of the wild and wonderful space that is mine.

And honestly, it feels like miles.
