Hey, how are you?

Either the tags brought you here, or maybe you’ve been here once before, perhaps it’s neither.

Either way, welcome, and thank you for stopping by.

I hope your days have been filled with bright sunshine, and mesmerizing sunsets.

Or if it’s been raining, I hope you’re still able to appreciate the fresh feeling that comes after, as if the world has been cleansed.

I hope every time it rains, you’re able to remember your childhood,

and the memories of how fun it was to play under the rain.

I hope you don’t forget the joyful sound of your laughter as it blends with the tapping sound of the rain

as it hits the roof, the pavement, the earth.

I hope that on days when the heat becomes unbearable, you were provided relief

by the wind, and that there was always a gentle breeze to lighten your burdens.

I hope your nights have been filled with the magic that rides the moonbeams;

I hope that you’ve been able to see the stars sparkle amidst the clouds and the interference of the city lights.

I hope you’ve had a chance to walk barefoot, just to feel the earth;

to touch the trees and hear them as they whisper to each other,

passing great truths that perhaps we’ll never understand in this lifetime.

I hope that you’re able to smile genuinely, sharing moments with your closest people

as your most authentic self – I bet you just shine, and that would be quite a sight.

I hope that even if you are alone, you’ve found the right way to love yourself without feeling lonely or empty.

I hope you never resent the freedom that comes from being alone-it’s an opportunity to focus on yourself until the right person comes along.

Oh, there’s still so much to say, but I’m running out of paper,

and you might also be thinking that i’ve rambled on.

But let me say just one last thing…

On days when you feel lost because you haven’t found your passion and your purpose,

and feel that you’ve been searching for too long,

I hope you can accept the thought, that perhaps our only purpose is to live this life.

To live it with passion and openness to experiencing this life in this shell –

to feel the rain, the sunshine, the breeze;

to find the wonder and magic when you gaze at the moon;

to hear the rustling of the leaves with the passing wind;

to walk barefoot, and to laugh and be like a child.

Thanks again for stopping by, I hope you always find the courage to keep going, and

I hope your days ahead are always peaceful and happy.
