Breathe! I am alive!

i walked slowly and mindfull through a green forest this morning, a brilliant red-orange sun roze on the horizon.

peace is every step.
the shining red sun is in my heart.
each flower smiles with me.
how green, how fresh all that grows.
how cool the wind blows.
peace is every step.
it turns the endless path to joy.

walk this way. a flower will bloom under our feet with every step. the flowers will smile at us, wishing us well on our way. i don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. i don't have to leave the city or even this subdivision to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. the air i breathe is a source of joy. i am smiling, breathing, walking, eating my meals in such a way. i am in touch with an abundance of happiness. most of us are very good at preparing to live, but falter when it comes to being good at living. peace is every step.

......... let the dandelion keep your smile, if that be the case. it is faithful. be mindful. breathe in awareness. your smile will return.
