Leaf

 There are signs that I'll see. It's the Universe's way of nudging me.

It's telling me to look down, slow down, and pay attention. 

It makes me stop and smile. 

It allows me to maintain a child-like wonder of the world around me. 

It's so important...so important to do this. 

To realise there's something so small that can catch my attention and bring my thinking to a stand still. 

Just a leaf, a heart shaped, golden leaf laying on the ground signalling me to notice it. 

I did, I saw it's the perfect shape of a heart.

It made me think of you and that I'll ask how yours is.

A pause between heartbeats. 

A question asked. 

How's your heart?
