Catch up with that Forgotten Self

"It is the child who sees the primordial secret of Nature and it is the child of ourselves we return to." ~ Lao Tzu

Take a walk to discover a self you've forgotten. Languish with each step.

Focus a cell phone on photo only. Turn off distractions like calls or texts.

Breathe and take in nature's nuances. Notice something different.

Listen beyond noise. Hear clicks, clanks, and bird song. 

Play with fingers to surround textures. 

Breathe in for changes in scent. Revel in plants and flowers that greet.

Birds wheel in the breeze. Watch them.

Let every new sensation chase away fears or unwanted thoughts.

Imagine a world beyond the distractions of frustration and anxiety.

Poise yourself to uncover a treasure or two.

Sing the words of "Imagine." Let them percolate into your heart and thoughts during the day. 


"Imagine"
     by John Lennon

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Imagine Goodness.      

                   Believe!  

                         Catch up with that forgotten self.
