Do You See What Smiles Back At You?

Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Collecting Smiles”

Hey, did you crack a ツ?

Morning solitude brings a smile. Despite obscured vision in thick fog, I step into a cloud—a misty landscape of hazy colour, shape and shadow mystery.

During walking meditation, mindfulness calms. Each breath slows the swirl of thoughts. Unburdened and uncluttered, the mind is free, and peace settles within.

A playful, lighthearted energy approaches, the same tingling sensation sensed days after Dad died. While curled up in his chair, I felt a playful tug on my hair.

My heart believed — but my grief stubbornly rejected this reality.

Dad, you are no longer here.

Moments later, I heard Mom talking to Dad in her sleep! Coincidence?

As I mouth the words, Dad, it’s you, that tingling sensation transmutes into the most comforting and reassuring embrace.

I am awed by the moment then as now. Loving energy, available 24/7 — if one remains aware.

Hey, do you notice what lies ahead?

Etched by asphalt cracks and surface depressions, I see a smile on the road.

❣◕ ‿ ◕❣ Do you believe

you’re never fully dressed without a smile?
