Slowly

Smile,

breathe,

and go slowly.

O snail

climb Mount Fuji

but slowly slowly

  1. These words on your blog this morning touched my spirit, which is depleted as of late. I am feeling introspective and find myself tearful by the basic act of reading those 5 simple words.

    It’s exactly want I needed to guide me into my day.

    I can do this!

    Grateful for you,

    Fern
