A Field of Daisies
We had to stop the car. I saw cows grazing in a field of daisies.
It felt like a dream world. Then again, whenever I slow down and notice the little things, wherever I am feels dreamy. That’s the great thing about choosing to rush less.
Do you ever go on walks? I love taking long walks in the morning. I think my best ideas come then. Walking to German class in Berlin solidified it for me. Everything about my day is better if I find a way to walk where I am going.
No ipod. No cell phone. Nothing but open eyes and an open heart. And sometimes a camera.
Being in the car, spotting those cows? That was after a long, long hike in the mountains that I showed you earlier this week. And here are some pictures of my favorite walks in Berlin.
Oh – some tips on the benefit of walking. Here’s hoping for less rain and thunder for more walks. When do your best ideas come?

Beautiful! All your recent pictures from the midwest are making me want, even more than usual, to flee DC for good!
I love walks. Last night my boyfriend and I went for a long walk on the trail near our house in the dark. The fireflies were magnificent.
Last Saturday I finally was at home and able to walk to my farmer’s market. It was the best morning in a loooong time. http://theborrowedabode.com/2010/06/whats-the-rush/

I find walking good for idea-birthing as well. I always end up writing things in my head during walks, and walking all the faster in the end to get home before I’ve forgotten them all!

My best thinking moments are when I’m a passenger in a car on a long drive or when I’m doing a simple repetitive task like handwashibg dishes. My mind tends to wander & it can be very relaxing.
Love this photo!
