We can all use a pattern of Zen in our lives, if only for a moment each day

There’s a window over the tub in our master bath. When I get up in the morning, I stand in the tub and survey the back yard while I brush my teeth. This is how I greet the day and figure out what kind of weather to expect.

It’s my Zen moment.

In summertime, I admire my handiwork on the lawn. When I mow, I mow diagonally, switching to the opposite diagonal every other time.

The resulting pattern is like a diamond-shaped checkerboard.

It makes me happy.

(Until I have to wash the window of my toothpaste spatter.)

  1. I like that you make patterns on your lawn and toothpaste splashes on your window.

    • Good observation. Perhaps if I had taken the picture through the window, that would have justified my abominable housekeeping.
