"Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night." ~Rainer Maria Rilke

Happy May Day! I remember celebrating this day as a child by making May Day baskets, hanging them on a neighbor's door handle, knocking on the door, and dashing away before the knock was answered, while we hid behind the bushes watching the smiles of surprise when the basket was found. More simple times. Creating joy and sharing it with others. Today, I sent May Day baskets on Facebook. Go figure! I can only imagine the smiles! It was really more fun actually seeing the real thing when I was able to do so as a child..
Children have such a way of seizing the moment. Lesson to be learned. This gift of being in the present moment is timeless but seemingly forgotten as life becomes busier and more complicated. Spend a few minutes watching how children do this, then figure out how to do it yourself in your own life. Carpe' diem!!!
