The way we live

Are you living the life you were meant to live?

Change the way you live! One small step at a time.
Do something different today.
Walk to work in the sunlight bathing the day.
Feel your feet caressing the pavement and the heat of the day cloaking your shoulders in comfort
Breathe in the perfume of roses and sing a song with the birds outside the window
Talk to others and smile brightly
Look into the eyes of another and let them see your soul

The petals open and then they drop
Tomorrow doesn’t have to be the same
Gather your shears and prune your garden, your life
The tightly closed buds will multiply and flourish
They will open into a beautiful flower with a perfume that will arrest your soul

Let your day be that what you make it,
Ecstatic embrace of the everyday
