29 steps…

You know how sometimes you’re walking down life… caught in your own self…lots of stuff rushing through your head…happy maybe…and you pass something that makes you smile…something red and shiny…it makes all your other thoughts pause for a bit…and you walk on thinking about it…twenty steps later you start wondering what it was and why you have this urge to go back…you take five more steps and think of all the reasons you should keep going on…four steps more and you decide to go back…so you take the 29 steps back…praying its still there…those steps will delay wherever you were going…those 29 steps took courage…those 29 steps were to catch onto something that made you happy even momentarily…those 29 steps where each one you take makes you wonder whether you’ll smile for a little longer cos of it…
Find it…pick it up…marvel…how easily passable that was and yet how beautiful…completely worth the 58 steps extra…

So I picked up this bright red leaf in my lane…missed my train but it made me so happy… kinda my lucky charm for the day…
My little learning…take the courage to go back to things you love…they may not be there and they may not want you…but take the 29 steps to find out…
