Some days I am present, I notice every little thing around me. When I happen to be at the garden on those days I see wonderful things. A moth resting on a cluster of flowers. Some bees stopping to pick up nectar and pollen on a bunch of other blooms nearby. Monarchs butterflies chasing each other over our heads.

I had gotten lost starring into the pond covered in clovers when I looked up and saw that maiki had arrived. He motioned for me to come over to where he was. “I found something you need to see,” he told me. I was overjoyed to see the big, fat frog at the edge of the pond. It was a great day to be aware of the beauty all around.
