"..heaven.."

"I can get to heaven / Walking out in the streets at night / Pushing my soul into the open wind / And in a daze I've been there / In a daze I begin to see the way..."  Heaven by Jes

These lyrics struck me just now in such a way that it made me realize this is probably one of the best ways to describe how people watching makes me feel.  I feel so at peace with the world:  the people, the air, the sun, the sky, the sounds, the smells!

I think we forget how amazing life is:  how blue the sky is, how teal the ocean is, how vibrantly-colored flowers are, how intoxicating a laugh is, how contagious a smile is.

Something I've started focusing on / being more aware of when I'm walking about is smell.  I breathe in everything, as much as I can.  Absorb emotions and feelings and words into my bloodstream.  I breathe in life and exhale peace.

Breathe.
