I love the question, "Will you notice?" I added for myself, "will I notice and then let go?" Brilliant, Julie. Thank you.

Hi Julie! I love the poem you read. The inflection of your voice was a great fit to the words and rhythm. Rhetorical questions challenging us to be present and to realize we’re part of a Great Mystery. Thanks for all you do!

Thank you Gary for being here and listening in. A Great Mystery we get to notice each and every day. Isn’t it wonderful?!

This is great question! On a walk it’s easier than when we are in a hurry. Good to slow down when we can.

I’m thinking on this question more and more each day. Today after my long run I did a cool down walk and saw the most amazing snail…it was very large swirls of white/green/brown hanging to a piece of grass. I was so happy to notice. Thank you for being here Mom.

Slowing down to notice is so important! Why is it so hard to do?

I agree Claudette! I have to be so intentional to do so.

When you have the answer let me know. :)
