So you found a way to stand out
Holding your heart to grey clouds
Silently planting your wisdom
In fertile minds, in tender times
And humble, you are still
You amaze me
Wanting for nothing
Pining for pines
Searching for edible leaves
Ancient but true
Just like you
“Reality is sitting in a canyon, watching the eagles fly.”
There is so much noise in this world.
Technology makes so much noise.
People make so much noise.
My mind makes so much noise.
We have dressed up this world so much that sometimes we can’t even see it. As we cover it with technology, politics, materialism, media…egos, we have forgotten about the world in it’s natural state. Within the simplicity of nature, we can find the truth. The truth is spoken in the wind, written in the clouds and carved in the rocks. The truth is lying in the grass and examining one blade… because one blade of grass is a symmetrical masterpiece.
Yeah, I know, I know…we have so much to do. Where would we find the time? The funny thing is, we have created our own complexity. We have built our own obstacles. We can make our lives as simple as we want them to be.
All that we desire and all that we “accomplish” in a day is trivial, compared to the miracles of LIFE.
We just have to clear away the clutter for a moment in order to see it.
We just have to silence the noise in order to hear it.
Keeping your toes
Out of turbulent waters
Connecting the ordinary
To the extraordinary
Finding the space in between
If only to breathe
And I will keep walking
Against the wind
That chills my skin
And warms my soul
Waking my senses
Clearing the knick knacks
That play paddy whack
On my mind
We reach towards the sun
To feel the warmth
Nurturing our souls
Soothing our minds
Millions of miles away
When only millimeters from our hands
Placed on our chest
We can feel the life, the blood
The beating of our own sun
A gift more precious than we can comprehend
For hearts so pure and strong
Are victims to minds so tangled
Hearts so fearless and free
Become chained by selfishness
We reach towards the sun
To find simplicity
