I took my dogs out after a long time. In addition to the beautiful sky, I also observed the trees. I remembered an interesting comparison from Ram Dass . 'When you go out into the woods, and you look at trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are bent, and some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is. You sort of understand that it didn’t get enough light, and so it turned that way. And you don’t get all emotional about it. You just allow it. You appreciate the tree. The minute you get near humans, you lose all that. And you are constantly saying ‘You are too this, or I’m too this.’ That judgment mind comes in. And so I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are.'❤

That is a very exemplary practice. It warms the heart...appreciating people just the way they are❤

Have a nice walk with your dogs, I see that there is a beautiful light and that park seems perfect, large and quiet! Good day
I like to walk in this park because it is really beautiful, and it is close to me. Have a nice day to you too.
Thanks for sharing of this wonderful view. Have a nice morning ahead.
