Winds blowing against my warm skin
The sound of seagulls in the distance grazing over ocean mists
Nearby a cherry tree finds just enough light to ripen its few fruits
Newly hatched robins chirp with joy as their mother returns to the nest to nourish their young bellies
I notice that the weight of the world seems a bit lighter in this moment, as if everything is freely going about their day. Freely to be, freely to enjoy the present moment without worry.
Cars race in the muddled noise of the mundane world, airplanes drifting over head, boats and trains making their way in every direction.
How joyful is it to experience the Earth and its creatures from such a perspective as resting in a rocking chair on a porch under the cool breeze of a neighboring rhodedendran tree.
