Belly-quaking laughter, grace at morning breakfast, walks on the beach with a peaceful heron
Moving slow enough to see rare sea stars that survived their own extinction
Somehow
Really it is all about the simple things
That have the power to ground us from the outside in
Put your feet on the golden grass that smiles in the wind at sunset
Look out, far, far ahead
At the mountains of possibilities that await you
Cry to your friends about your hurt and let it be seen
There is no unacceptable way to be in the arms of true family
Sing your love songs to the water and take long naps
Eat berries and drink wine when you damn well please
Get cozied up at night and have bed time chats with your best friends
So good for the soul you don’t even want to sleep
What fills us up most in this world are knowing that those we love are always by our side
It doesn’t matter what place we’re in in our lives
There is space for all parts of us here
Sometimes we just need a little reminder from the simplest rays of sunshine
From the tallest, oldest trees
From the water, rippling like glass
To really see it.
