Most days, I drive by the most beautiful little patch of land. It is at the corner of 23rd and Massachusetts in Lawrence, KS. Not any bigger than most front lawns, this small piece of heaven is perfectly planted, manicured and maintained. There is nothing extraordinary or novel about this section of land. But, it is always beautiful, lovingly cared for, bringing me a smile every day that I pass it. Although it is so small that if I'm distracted in the least, I am sure to miss it.
I hope my life is like that little patch of land. My life is simple but sublime. I nurture my soul with my love for my family and my passion for creativity and knowledge. And, I hope to bring a little joy or a smile to the few people I see each day. I may fall short, but every time I drive by 23rd and Massachusetts, I try just a little harder.
