Look Up

The heart beats and the mind soars. Your eyes open, you sit up and get out of bed. You have another day to live. It's miraculous that you have this ability. The wind is blowing and leaves are swirling in spirals through traffic and over black metal gates, cluttering the sidewalk. It's Autumn and it's perfect.
I think Autumn and Spring are the favorite seasons of many because they are easy going. They are the middle ground and they give you just enough to breathe deeply and be you. Summer and Winter are the right sided one way, cut off and stern seasons. They are what they are and they bring good things too, but are not as passive as the other two.
Seeing life in it's earliest of stages is something to behold and admire. It is more than one can express when experiencing it for the first time up close.
We are floating on a rock, covered in water spinning through the galaxy, in the universe. I mean, you can think about this all day. We as a species have become lost in a way due to our very own selfish, narcissistic nature. It's too bad we are so destructive and simple at the core.
The heart beats and the lungs compress. Eyes dart left and right. Get to work on time, and pay the bills. See the movie and watch the news.
If you happen to get a few minutes free. And no one is watching...
...look up.
You'll be glad you did. :)
