koi swim sleepily
snowflakes touch down on their pond
a dreamy first snow 🦊❤️
Yesterday, because of the snow, I drove Yulan to her the retirement community where she teaches a yoga class. As she showed me around the facility, we passed a window that looked out into a koi pond where the fish were moving very slowly due to the cold temperatures. Big snowflakes were falling and it made for a beautiful scene.
As I watched Yulan teach her class I was moved by her caring teaching style. I thought about the Koi swimming ever so slowly in the cold water as I watched the slow and effort laden movements of the residents as they tried to replicate Yulan’s movements. I thought about who the people were and what their lives were like before moving into the facility. I felt a knot form in my throat as I watched from afar. 🦊❤️
