Today was an amazing day. And it's not because I had great classes or am up to date with readings or have found a way around my radio assignment. Today was amazing simply because I made the effort to stop. And look around me. The most beautiful clouds were above me today. So beautiful and surreal, even, that I had to stop and look. They were the feathery kind - cirrus? And they were in a sort of lattice pattern. Breathtaking. Somewhere above, I heard a continuous whirr and it was coming nearer. I looked up again and saw a flock of low-flying birds swooping across the sky. The whirr of their wings was surprisingly soothing and calmed my stressed out nerves. I'm still stressed but I'm glad my week's over and I took time out to see the things that go on around me - the rest of the world.
Life goes on. It doesn't matter that you screwed up 'cos no one's gonna wait for you. It's up to you to pick yourself up and move along. Life is full of mistakes, that's why it's not heaven. Life is also full of hope, that's why it's not hell. Celebrate your extra layer of fat, your field of pimples, your maze of teeth. And spare a thought for those who have nothing.
Cheers and be well.
