A place where bees swarm, crawl, share and sweat. But also. A place inside my mind, acting like those busy bees making new corridors and rooms in my thoughts and feelings.
The Gibbons awoke in their tree, a troop of four. Early, before the light gave its energy to the green leaves, those Gibbons let out their glorious morning bellow.
A friend once told me that dusk was a magical time. I think part of it is that you can't see whether the sun is setting or rising. Time is a paradox, two realities are true enough. And that's where the magic happens. One that mountain top in the picture she drew me, you escape the world.
Life beckons. That's what everyone says. But what does it really mean? I guess it means this...your life is so full of love and hope and joy that it BECKONs you to share it. It beckons you to smile. When life beckons, it is daring you to not smile and appreciate and share what you have. Tonight is one of those nights.
One day, I returned. That day I smiled. That day I cried. Only when I returned had I known where I had traveled and how I so loved my home. Now I hold that space in my heart, wherever I go.

If he would have been able to see himself at those times when he was unstable, he would have wished for nothing more than to attain the opposite. Now that he has, there's nothing more that he wants than to never go back to the un side of life.
Hmmm. What does a slouch mean to you? I ask because everyone has a different definition. Whatever yours may be, I ask this: can you summarize a slouch as being someone who does not live up to the potential they have? Because in my opinion, if you slouch you are selfish.
is a place for happiness. I'm not kidding, I'm not even exaggerating, anywhere is place for a smile. Maybe one that barley eeks through the pain, but what reason could you find to limit where happiness can grow?
