I went for a walk the other day. I just wanted some fresh air and a quiet moment. I followed my usual path and walked past a school.

I kept walking until something on the corner caught my eye. It was a bit of color on a small wall across the street. I had passed that corner before, but somehow I had never noticed it. Maybe I was always in a hurry. Maybe I just never looked in the right direction. But this time, it stood out.

I crossed the street to see it better.

It was a mosaic. Small pieces of tile forming a picture. At the center of the mosaic was a tree, and written at the bottom were: From a tiny acorn, mighty oak trees grow. Simple words, but they made me stop for a moment. They felt true in a quiet way.

Around the oak tree were scenes of children.

A group of kids playing together...

A boy trying to catch a dragonfly...

A girl skipping rope...

A boy resting under the tree, looking peaceful...

Another girl in pigtails sitting alone, maybe thinking or daydreaming...

A boy reading a book...

A girl running after her kite ...

Follow the string...

to the kite.

And lots of butterflies and flowers!

The whole mosaic showed small moments of childhood and the idea of growing.

I stood there longer than I expected. The mosaic wasn’t big or fancy. It showed how small things can turn into something strong. How kids grow. How ideas grow. How we grow, even when we don’t notice it happening.

I don’t know who made it or how long it has been there. It might have been on that wall for years. But I finally saw it that day, and it changed the way I looked at that corner.

I continued my walk. The street looked the same, but I felt a little different. Acorns, a tree, a simple mosaic, a quiet reminder that growth starts small.
