A reminder to be present

Written on September 1, 2023

A little toad on a wooden bridge

Saw this little guy on my morning walk.

I almost missed him cause he’s so tiny and I was looking at my phone.

But he hopped as I was passing by him and caught my eye.

So I stopped and snapped this photo of it.

As a reminder to practice being present.

Makes me wonder what little details we must miss on a daily basis because of distractions?

What if I had been walking without looking at my phone, what other things might have I noticed around me?

What sort of things could we pick up with the interactions with those in our lives if we give them our full attention?
