Savoring is an invitation to slow down and linger long over the lovely! Even in the face of the hard and ugly. Maybe especially there. D. Michele Perry
Savoring helps rewire our brain's reward system to recognize and hold onto goodness, even when things are hard.
We savored the view and the walk along the water with the cool late summer breeze.
If you go back and look at the other photo...you might see the line of white rocks in the middle of the photo.
Paul and I set aside the hard stuff and savored a bit of summer today and headed to Fort Williams Park for lobster rolls and a dose of coast.
And we certainly savored the lobster rolls.
This was the view from our picnic table...
where we lingered long over the lovely.
As we savored this view along the walkway....I spied something interesting down on the rocky ledge. It's hard to see in this photo....but it really stood out in person.
Along one of the rock walls were carefully placed smaller rocks...including some heart rocks.
It was a good day to slow down and savor a little summer and hold onto goodness.
Love those smaller white rocks perched in outcroppings of the larger rockscape; I love to imagine who placed them there, if they collected them first and placed them second, if the display grew one white rock at a time over considerable time, etc. I also love thinking about the many places where I've seen other collections of all sorts of varied items perched in the nooks and crannies of a larger rockscape.
ReplyDeleteAND, thank you for jogging the memory of the DELICIOUS lobster rolls we had at our humble wedding reception 50 years ago!
Oh how I love the way you mind wanders. Yes...who placed them...and how did it evolve? I am always on the lookout for handmade structures in natural settings. When we used to pick up sea glass with the kids we would make up stories of where it came from.
DeleteBlackeyed Susans AND lobster rolls at your wedding! Perfection!
