Every Life Is Different

To fully appreciate life, and the small wonders of the world.

It takes a certain kind of innocence.
It takes a certain quiet and laughter.
It takes simultaneous awareness and carelessness.

Not everyone can pull this off gracefully.

You can tell these people by the way they are in their skin.
They are not comfortable with their being.
They itch to the tune of discontent.

They are so unaware it doesn’t even occur to them to be unaware.

Like the beauty in the sunset, or the scenery, or even the time of day.
To grasp this, they simply agree and move on to the next preoccupation.
It is not their fault – they simply don’t know how to live in admiration.

Breathe deeply.

It truly takes an understanding of life and death alike to marvel at creation.
Do not steep yourself too deeply phenomenon.
Because just like tea, it can get too strong and you won’t want to drink it after all.

Be open to beauty and the possibility of acknowledging it in everything.
