No one stepped on the grass!

I was sitting outside Abrehot public library, Contemplating and assessing my life. the roads I crossed and the paths I want to pursue.

In the middle of my inner dialogue, I noticed that no one stepped on the grass and walked patiently, even if it meant walking a few more steps.

I paid attention to this because I have always been curious about how we behave when it comes to the little things. Those Decisions seem not to matter.

We cut corners, and we usually don't follow rules, especially "do not step on the grass" types.

Yet this boundary was respected.

Why?

My claim is that you can notice the beauty from miles away!

The boundaries are clearly set. You neither want to be the reason it is not beautiful anymore nor destroy something that was delicately done.

You can see the work and energy it took to make it this beautiful.

When one lives consciously and with great care, the effort is noticed from miles away. You don't need to wish or ask for your boundaries to be respected.

And unlike the grass, we can choose where we settle and what we need to exist gracefully.

"Our boundaries define our personal space.

And we need to be sovereign there in order to be able to step into our full power and potential."
