Blink of An Eye

We are one blink of an eye from being fully awake. -Pema Chodrun
 
This was a delightful surprise I came across this morning as I walked around Joyful Pause Cottage and my gardens. 
 
In the gully across from my cottage, some coneflowers must have reseeded themselves. Among all the green they practically called out to me to come pay them a visit.
 
Upon closer inspection, spotted or are the pink petals fading, I wondered?
 
And then I thought, No matter. They are beautiful.
 
Being awake is about appreciating all the stages of life.
 
Wishing you a lovely week…
