An ode to the simple things

An ode to the simple things

They are my loves, the simple things.

A touch on the arm that carries a million words.

Being on the water as the sun rises.

A dolphin swimming beside me.

The kiss of the morning sun on my cheek.

Bare feet on sand.

The greatest gifts of our lives invariable arrive in a simple package. Its lack of adornment or fanfare means it can be missed for the precious gift it is.

Wisdom teaches us to love the simple moments.

Youth wants the fanfare and trumpets, fame and adulation.

Give me the simple. Sweet simple. Every day.

This is how a life is created.
