“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” – W.B. Years

Reach out and touch a tree

As my eyes open, I see the world for what it is in all its glory. One day, not so long ago but what feels like a lifetime ago, I opened my eyes and saw the Sun shining brighter than ever before. The leaves glistened with a brilliant shine as they danced to the rhythm of the breeze. The birds sang songs with immense joy. Happiness, beauty and wonder bloomed all around me.

Nature cleansing

Many years I lived life in a dense fog. A haze covered my eyes and I could not see the wonder that is life. Stuck in a meaningless routine, my body was constantly trapped in the cold grey concrete jungle designed by man. Stumbling in the dark, hands grasping at walls, I finally found it! The switch opened my eyes. My reality shifted and suddenly I understood it was time for a change. Time to get back to the love and beauty of existence. My heart opened up as I seen the reflection of self. The embodiment of beauty and love. The world is a reflection of eternal love. Open your eyes and see the beauty that is this wonderous life.
