One morning in August

August 25, 2007 | 5:15 pm

Me and my dog Viggo, a four year old Golden Retriever, were out together the other day, walking in the morning sun in a forest nearby. In August we have much morning dew here in northern Sweden and when the sun rises, nature shows its best side. We can easily miss the small things around us, the colors, the smells and the sound of the wind in the leaves. It is wise to catch the moments of beauty and store them in our hearts.

I remember when my children were small. We used to lie down on the ground and be fascinated by the ants or look at the trees and let them speak to us. Having a dog has reminded me of this lifestyle. Yes, it is a lifestyle; Walk slowly, look around, listen, take a deep breath and see the beauty in the small things around.
