The Gift of Mindfulness

I go for regular walks

in my neighborhood

with mindfulness.

I see little things

on the streets

that most people ignore.

I pick them up

and save them

in a garage treasure box.

One day,

I opened the box

and discovered there is enough

to make a craft.

I took a wooden panel,

applied some glue,

and arranged the tiny treasures

collected over many walks.

This is what I made;

engaging, lovely, right?

A testament to mindfulness,

a collection of little things,

that others walked past,

transformed into something

to cherish.
