Every­day I go for a Morn­ing Walk in the park near my place. One day I was walk­ing through the park. It was a beau­ti­ful day. The sun was just out and it was nice and warm. Every­thing was just perfect.

As I walked on the path which was cov­ered by the trees on either side I saw my friend. She was look­ing at some­thing with eyes wide open. I was very curi­ous to know what was she look­ing at.

I went near her and asked her what was she look­ing at. She pointed towards a beau­ti­ful flower. I looked towards it and smiled. I asked her if she wanted it and if yes why did she want the flower. She said to give it to a friend. I said I can’t give it to her. She was a bit sad and asked very inno­cently why?

I said the flower is beau­ti­ful as long as it is on the tree on which it grows. We might pluck the flower and then maybe gift it to some­one. The per­son will take the flower and maybe even smile which will make us happy.

But if it remains here on its shrub it will attract more and more peo­ple. Any­body who will see these flow­ers will smile. The fra­grance of the flow­ers will spread far and wide mes­meris­ing more and more peo­ple as the smile spreads around from one per­son to the other.

So I will let the flower grow where it is right now.

She smiled. I smiled at myself and started walk­ing again on my path. Hop­ing to meet peo­ple and learn new things.
