alive

I admired this stranger who was feeding sea birds. I could see in her face, a look of absolute child-like delight as the birds rose up to grab a soggy chip in mid-air.

How rare and precious to come across people who are practicing wonder and delight in the everyday? How wonderful it is to find joy in the very simple without any conscious effort?

This moment will never come again. Take joy in moments. Savour each moment like vintage wine on your tongue.

The time I have lived is far less than the number of years that my heart has been beating. The time I have truly been alive probably counts less than a year.

Stop. Observe. Change. Live.
