Monday Morning Wake-Up Call

Live & Learn8 Comments

Soft days, with a gentle breeze, create a pause. Just enough to notice how tall grass sways, leaves breathe, clouds swim, and rose petals fall. Here’s to a kind day or night. Here’s to recalibrating in the way that helps you most.

It was one of the October days when to breathe the air is like drinking wine, and every touch of the wind against one’s face is a caress.

Because I could feel the breeze…

Lightly Child, Lightly.

Come back to earth…

dwell on the shortness of life.

Lift up your dark heart and sing a song about

how time drifts past you like the gentlest, almost imperceptible breeze.
