Do You Notice?
Do you stop and notice…
when as the sun breaks through the cloudy day, the little room you are furiously folding laundry in fills up with warm yellow light?
the pressure of the small hands around your waist when they reach in for a hug?
the color of the light of the full moon when it illuminates your whole back yard?
the fit of your fingers around your favorite coffee mug before you take your first morning sip?
the rhythm of your breath as you reach the top of the hill?
the sadness in your neighbor’s eyes as she smiles and passes by?
the way the warm breeze feels on your skin as you step out of the car?
Do you notice?
Do you stop and notice…
the smile on your dog when you scratch that place on his back?
the way the winter trees make an intricate black silhouette against that just blue morning sky?
how the empty sound of silence fills up your soul with clear new energy?
the tension in your body when you are thinking with worry?
when you are tired…and rest?
the tones of bird songs?
the miracle of life in everything around you?
What do you notice?
