PICNIC


Find a patch of grass,
Spread the blanket out.
Open the basket,
And just lay about.
When time distills down,
To the purest parts.
Joy is sure to fill,
Each of your crew’s hearts.
About this card
Picnic celebrates the greatest luxury of all: simplicity.
Pack the delicacies you love, carrying only what
matters. Scout a serene location to lay your blanket, attune your senses to nature and adopt her pace.
Permit yourself to be present, truly. Listen. Laugh.
Give space. Open your heart. Resist the temptation
to rush and savor the priceless gift of good company, and your movable feast will be a magical one.
