Saunter

Forget what you left behind if possible; think 'wander'.

Look ahead, non-chalantly, toward the path;

only as far as the flowers and birds that

have nested near the climbing hydrangea.

While we're on the subject of birds:

study them quietly--let them teach

you about what's important in life;

notice their priorities.

Sauntering requires that you dismiss

The minute, mundane worries of life

and remain free to inhabit

the joyful moments of life instead.

To enjoy life, one must saunter.
