Have you celebrated you can see?
Have you celebrated the smell of sliced oranges and brewing coffee in the morning?
Have you celebrated you can hear the singing mockingbird through the kitchen window?
Have you celebrated the orchestra of sounds and kaleidoscope of sights, the feeling of being alive?
Have you celebrated you can arise, move, and walk, unaided, free, and without pain?
Or, have you become so consumed you are unavailable to celebrate?
Ignoring this moment.
Presently absent.
Running to achieve, and leaving this moment behind.
Obsessed with tomorrow’s gain, and giving up today’s treasure.
Accelerating at a regrettable cost.
A celebration is happening,
It’s available, here, now.
Can you see it?
Do you perceive it?
You are invited.
The birds sing with anticipation at your arrival,
The leaves rustle excited for your return,
The wind deliciously lures you to awaken.
Are you here?
Have you forgotten to live?
De tanto correr por la vida sin freno
Me olvidé que la vida se vive un momento
De tanto querer ser en todo el primero
Me olvidé de vivir
Los detalles pequeños- Julio Iglesias
Have You Forgotten?
Ow I have to find the song and listen to it 😃
Beautiful writing! I am awake and ready to go see the skies and all under it, feel all above it.
