Sometimes I Think I Can Fly

I'll touch the moon
Touch the sky
I don't need a destination
Just to feel my feet leave the ground
Weightless.

Teacups and Rose Petals

What pretty things surround you?
Take a moment to look around

We often get so caught up in analyzing and searching for meaning, that we forget to step back and take in our surroundings. We pass by the beauty in our lives without a second glance, too eager to pursue the future. Let's close our eyes, take a deep breath, and truly experience now.

Beach House

The sun warms your face
The sand crunches softly between your toes
The breeze gently flutters the curtains
The waves lap at the shore
At the beach house

Springtime

springtime calls for:

a dance in the woods
bicycles
hair braids, daisy chains
and paper cranes

Simplicity is Beautiful

Sometimes things are at their finest when the outer layers are stripped away, the makeup is washed off, and the walls lose all decoration -

Prettiness

stop and smell the roses

Escape

lose the time
lose the place
close your mind
enter your space
what do you see when you close your eyes

Smile!

just let it out
and let go
cheers for happiness

Any way, we'll be free.
