Bestie is making a flower for a picnic. One paper petal keeps flopping over. Bestie straightens it. It flops again, almost like a tiny wave.
“Oh. Hello again.”
For a moment, making something fun starts to feel like something Bestie has to get right. A friend sits nearby and asks a small question.
“Would you like company, or a hand?”
“Company first.”
They notice the sunny yellow crayon. The enormous petals. The funny little wobble. Slowly, Bestie remembers what felt good about making a flower in the first place.
Later, when another friend arrives with a torn petal, Bestie has a little patience to share.
A little invitation for you
Make a wobbly flower of your own. A pencil, a scrap of paper, and a few minutes are plenty. It doesn’t need to look like anything except something you enjoyed making.
