Summertime

Summertime

Time to reflect, think, sit back, breathe.

Feel the sun, the vitamin D, the sunlight, the sunshine, that glow.

Feel the wind, the breeze, your hair moving, the fresh air, the sound of the wind. 

Hear the birds, the birds singing, the birds chirping, see them fly.

The butterflies, watching them fly while also thinking of them when they were a beautiful caterpillar. 

The flowers, waiting for the sun, waiting for the rain, waiting for them to blossom each and every day.

The ocean, the sound of the waves, deep, deep as it can be, dangerous but at the same time beneficial and beautiful. 

The leaves, shining bright green, holding on to their branches, holding on to their tree, implemented by their roots, their strong roots, holding on, because as a family they need each other. 

We need each other. 

We can not survive without one another. 

One World

We are all connected, someway, somehow, someone is there waiting for you.

Waiting for you to reach out to them, to hug them, to love them, to connect with them.

One way or another, we are connected, we are different but at the same time we are the same.

We are human, we breathe, we seek love, we seek adventure, we seek peace, we seek shelter, we seek survival, we seek pleasure, we seek to be connected, again and again we are always finding ways to be loved, to be cared for while also caring for others. 

For that reason, I sit back

I feel the sun, I feel the wind, I hear the birds sing, I see the butterflies fly, I see the flowers bloom, I hear the waves of the beautiful deep ocean, I walk by, I sit and listen, I see that we are all connected as one but knowing that we are all different. 

Yes, we are all different. We are all different and unique. We are here. Blessed. 

Take those wings and fly or sit back and listen.

What ever you do, remember that we are all connected. 

What we do or say matters

It matters. Words matters. Action matters.

Speak up when negative thoughts or behaviors arise from others or yourself.

Defend those that need you.

Treat others with kindness but fight for your rights.

Be aware of those that speak, speak, speak but rarely does not listen. 

Be aware of the vibes, the energy, the feeling.

The vibes are powerful, the energy that we bring is contagious.

Let the air flow, feel the wind, see the sunshine and yourself glow.

Hear the birds sing, the butterflies fly, hear the ocean waves, walk on the beach.

Get your feet dirty with sand, let your hair loose, let the ocean be as dangerous and deep but be aware of the vibes, the waves that can quickly drift you away. 

Let yourself be you, support one another, lift each other up, feel that vibe and that energy. 

Even though seasons change, let summertime shine for itself. 

Time to reflect, think, sit back, breathe.
