Questioning what Matters

Have you ever found yourself in need to just step outside of yourself for a while? To take a drive just to see where you'll end up? To listen to classical music, just to be able to create the words on your own? To dance a dance no one has danced before? To compose your own song?

Have you ever tried to count the stars in a night, or stopped recently just to find a familiar constellation?

Have you ever wished a wish at exactly eleven hours and eleven minutes just to see what would happen? Have you ever dreamed a dream just to see where it would take you?

Have you ever walked along the beach late at night, accompanied only by the sound of the waves crashing along the shore?

Have you ever given time to your thoughts, or has it always been something too intimidating to really do?

Have you ever not been able to cry for a long time, and then the littlest thing happens and you can't stop the flood of tears? It's like they just needed one more tiny thing to happen before they could let loose...

Have you ever truly stopped to smell a rose? Or to look at something growing in the oddest of places? Like a flower pushing itself up through the cracks in the concrete?

There are some pretty incredible things in this world, if only we took the time to truly enjoy them...
