2171. smile


autumn afternoon 
as the sun goes down, stopping 
 to smile



On my walk, seeing a smile makes me stop and smile. “Many accomplishments are made by people who study carefully and put in a lot of hard work, but those who follow Tao would rather celebrate the accomplishments of those who got their best ideas while tinkering, or taking a bath, or eating breakfast, or taking a walk, or sipping tea, or just doing nothing.”  Deng Ming-Dao
