Yesterday, in the Botanical Garden I had a thought. Actually a few…
I was as happy as a child to be walking on yellow leaves among trees that were playing with the sun while feeling the chilly breeze on my cheeks. There are many paths in the garden…some are paved, and some are just trails. I realized how happy I was to alternate, how much joy I felt turning left or right depending on an intuition that I didn’t allow to decide for more than a few seconds. That’s how I discovered the garden! It’s not just gardens that I discover that way, I seem to take every day as a walk through some unknown garden…alternating paths, turning left and right as it feels right for me.
During my walk I reached the greenhouses where they keep the exotic plants. Inside there were all those wonderful tropical plants that in Sao Paulo were growing freely in parks, in front of my building, everywhere. They were at home there, while here they need an artificial home, some protection to be able to survive. Sometimes while away in a climate completely different to the one I know, I also felt the need of a greenhouse. I did not always realize it, sometimes on a superficial level it looked and felt as if I belonged, but often, when all by myself I felt like I needed some greenhouse too...
Finally, the clown on my shoulder reminded me of a friend who says he loves my “insights”. This is for you, two insights to rock your day…
