Have you ever

just put a blanket down

on the soft green grass

and looked up at the clouds

and sunshine?

What do you see?

Puffy white clouds, a plane or two buzzing by

a few bees?

I see with all my senses

I look up at this world of possibilities

I feel the sunshine warming my skin

I notice that the whites are not all white puffy

clouds, but the artist in me sees all the

colors of the rainbow

Pinks, yellows, blues, gold, orange and

what is so amazing is that even a warm

breeze can change the shape of the clouds

and the cloud becomes a ship, a dove,

an angel, a palace .

I smell the fragrant flowers, close my

eyes and feel the softness of the petals

against my skin...

I taste the world as it greets

me with sunshine and

warm breezes

I hear the gentle breeze and children

playing down the street...

I feel life around me...

the whole world stops for a second

and lays its majesty out there

for me to discover...

if only I look up at

this wonder that

most take for granted

Being in a rush to get

here and there.

Stop...

Relax

Look up at the sky

Breathe

and Remember

Life is good

And there is

no one quite like you

What you see in the world

is reflected in how

you accept each

new day

and keep happiness

in your heart

and soul

Happiness flows through you

Look up at these marvels of

Nature

And Revel in their

Stories

That they Yearn to

Teach us all

Love life,

Be spontaneous

Have fun

And laugh

and let the child

in you

come out

and play

Look up at the sky

Keep asking

why and how

and when

but always

Believe that

Sunshine

and rainbows

and clouds

are gifts

that remind

us that

we live

in a world

of possibilities

Let

Joy

Color

your life

with

Curiousity

and

Look up

and

let your

imagination

open to

the possibilities

this beautiful world

has to offer

No matter

where you may

live
