On An Evening Walk - Listen for Humility

On an evening walk to find humility
I met my neighbours - mother and her shy little one with curls and blue eyes.
Further down the sidewalk, I saw deep mauve lilacs in bloom.
Tuning my ears above the street, I heard birds chirping and singing ~
the slow whoosh of stop and go traffic added rhythm and sound. 
Stepping into the Village, I passed couples and families visiting and sharing meals.
Old trees, pale fuchsia flowers like candles, shaded sidewalks and passersby….
On an evening walk, humility was all around.

“It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.”

~ Andrew J. Holmes, Wisdom in small Doses.
