This afternoon my wife's elder sister would visit us. She has four children and six grandchildren who all would come too. So around midday, as I walked along the path from my garden to the beach, I picked up a number of dry leaves that had dropped during a heavy bout of rain, early in the morning.
I noticed between the dry leaves, a beautiful yellow flower that had fallen of the tree, that carries the name, sea-hibiscus. The tree is mainly leafy, but it carries a number of flowers, standing quite far apart. The flowers are yellow with an orangey pistil that is longer than the petals of the flower. I purposely did not pick up the flower and silently hoped our guests, of later in the afternoon would notice it. Actually I put it a bit closer to the path, very clearly visible.
I have made up my mind that tomorrow, I will have short reflection in the morning with the aim to try to increase my awareness of all beauty in our lives. I hope that I will be aware and notice the beauty of nature, the beauty of all opportunities to help others, the beauty of all the love and friendliness that comes my way...
