Today, Like Most Days...

Was busy and amid all the hustle and bustle, I had to remind myself


            to pause

                          and take a breath.

I wish to extend the same courtesy to you. Please pause and take a breath. Now, look around you. I don't care where you are, in the middle of walking to class or the brisk walk from the office to the car. Just observe. Take the earbuds out of your ears and listen to the world.

Hear that?

The hum of an engine?

The whirr of a bus passing?

The wind whipping your face?

It's a quiet hello.

It's the effort of progress.

It's the universe giving you a tender kiss.

Just don't miss it.
