Yesterday, on May 1st I continued a tradition of more than 15 years of delivering small flower arrangements to every house on my street. My neighbors love receiving the flowers and I love preparing special bouquets for them and delivering them to all 36 homes.
It is an all day activity that blesses me and ripples out with beauty and it is such a great way to stay connected! This year, a neighbor who moved away over the summer sent me a text that they were thinking about the May Day tradition on our street and sent me a virtual May Day flower greeting. May every day be lifted up in beauty. As Rumi says, “Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.”
