On A Picnic Morning

May Day – the public holiday on May 1 – is celebrated around the world as a day of unity, togetherness, and rebirth; a day for everyone to set aside their differences and come together to rejoice in the beautiful life we all share. Throughout the years and decades, and with diverse countries and cultures, the meaning of May Day has morphed, but today it represents spring renewal — along with the hope and new life it brings.

Slowing down from our rigorous lives to just pause and reflect, we see that the true meaning of life rests in the small moments, the blips in time that are so important that they may evoke emotions or even change our lives forever. From something as simple as the chance encounter with a brave bird that wanders too close, to the intersection of our life path with another soul that is the perfect match to ours, we live for these moments. And it is in one such moment in Adam in Taoland that Adam lays eyes on Tari.

Tari – Adam’s perfect match in every way – is the embodiment of everything he seeks. Coming from a planet where artificial intelligence has eradicated family life, Adam longs to have the close connections that family brings. He sees his future in her eyes. He and Tari begin a new life together – a journey of a number of life-altering experiences and new dreams along the way. And it all started on a picnic morning. 

We must all slow down and take our time to reflect on our lives.How will you celebrate today? Perhaps dance around a Maypole at a Spring Festival? Dance away! Maybe you’ll gather flowers and make a May basket? Or just find a special spot and take in the beauty of nature in silence – as you contemplate new beginnings. Are you dreaming of positive changes on your journey? We know we are!
