You're walking through the woods, not really looking for anything, when you notice a small red berry hiding among the leaves. a wild strawberry, so easy to miss, and always a little surprise. 

it isn't big or perfectly shaped like the ones from the supermarket. It is smaller, sometimes a bit sour, sometimes sweet. But finding it here, in the middle of the forest, makes it even more special. 

It is a small reminder that the best things are often the ones you weren't searching for.
