A Search for Self

 

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

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 unusual.

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

Use 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.

 

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" - John Lennon

Imagine Goodness.      

                   Believe.  

                         Catch up with that forgotten self.
