Having survived the Covid19 Pandemic over the past two years, we've learned (the hard way) to live a much simpler life of love, hope and gratitude. As I walked along a neighborhood street, I could feel the warmth of the sun on my skin, and the serenity of the empty sidewalk before me. That's when I saw the beauty of a soft shadow cast onto the harsh cement on the sidewalk. It's as if the sun transformed this skinny, white birch tree, into a beautiful "bonsai" tree with a heart right at the center of the shrubbery. This was truly a "stars and the moon aligned" moment. Realizing this was a fleeting moment and the image would fade way or transform into something else shortly from the sun's movement, I captured a photo of what I saw so that I'd be reminded of my moment of Zen on that random day.
