“Joy is not made to be a crumb.” – Mary Oliver
Happiness doesn’t have to be small.
It doesn’t need to be earned…. Even though it feels like it sometimes. Especially now.
It’s part of your natural state—if you allow it to grow.
Sometimes it arrives as a soft bloom on the sidewalk.
Sometimes, it’s the feeling of your nervous system beginning to relax and open like the petals of a flower leaning into the sunshine.
These flowers reminded me to be present to it again.
To see the sparkle of possibility in the world. That sometimes beauty is enough to fill the soul.
Maybe they’ll do the same for you 💕
🌸 Save this for the next time you need a little bit of joy.
