The music wells, caresses my ears and tickles my brain.

I look up to the sky, blue with hope, optimism… Adorned elegantly in clouds, white, pure, ever changing.

 

The foliage whisks by, luscious, green, making an otherwise bland landscape vivid and interesting.

 

Faces, they move past me, different and unique, each wearing different emotions. Sad, happy, concerned, surprised, angry, indifferent, some just squinting, begging the sun’s mercy.

 

Every living thing, from the lofty skies above down to the lowliest burrow, filled with dreams, thoughts, wants and needs… It’s all around us, the beauty of life itself. And yet, we miss it every day
