Describing the Indescribable

Juggling a soccer ball

Sleeping through the night

Walking into a forest 

& sitting by candle light 

Seeing an old friend 

Swimming in the sea

Reaching the top of a mountain

& drinking afternoon tea 

Exploring a new place 

& Smelling fragrant flowers 

Exchanging smiles with a stranger

Losing track of time for hours 

My life's purpose is to enjoy 

The simple pleasures of the day 

In a constant state of gratitude 

With no words left to say 

Lift Your Head

I want to go back to a time of mystique, to a time of simplicity where if the sun was shining you went outside, if the cherry blossoms were out you stopped to like them instead of liking a photo of them on instagram. Is this my resistance to change or an acknowledgement of a time of mindless distractions taking us away from being fully present with the true beauty of this world. The grass is not greener after that click of a button but lift your head and see it is green RIGHT NOW! Accept what is right there in front of you.
