Side Post of a Life Time

When was the last time you sat and actually looked at the beauty of the world around you? I am not trying to be cheesy, but a hundred percent honest. The world around us, each and every one of us, is amazing. It is a world that is filled with amazing things. Things that we can try to describe in words and expressions. Whether it is poems, songs, letters, books, stories, et al. we can never actually do just the actual peace and harmony the world has.

This is a world we created. Whether you believe in God, Moses, a higher power, something completely different, or nothing at all, you can relate. Take the time and look. Don't think, but look. Not with your eyes that only create things from memory of things that we have seen before. But with your mind or your heart; whichever you are more comfortable looking with.

Maybe your world looks different then mine. Perhaps, we all share the same concept of the world. But if you over look the anti-civilization creations we hear about and see everyday; such as war, disease, fights, anger, depression, and many others; you can see the greatness of the world as you know it. You created this world as much as I created mine.

Our brains create this reality through memories; things that we were taught when we were younger; through assumptions and associations; and through what we want out of the world. What you have in life is what you have. What you want in life is what you want. But have you ever tried to be content? Even just for a few minutes and just look. Better yet, just feel. Feel the ground beneath your feet, the shirt on your back, the pants on your legs, and everything around you. These are all sensations and feelings that we create in our brains and portray it through our bodies. But I don't want to get into too much technical, scientific stuff right now.

Even if you didn't care for anything else I had said so far. Do me one thing. Since you were kind enough to take the time and read this. Please take 15 minutes at least and just feel the world. Look around you, better yet close your eyes and play some relaxing music. Then sit. Sit and say nothing and think nothing, except how lucky you are to be where you are in your life. No matter how good or bad it might be. Just think positively and think about where you are going to be or you want to be. Even still, try to think of some place wonderful to you, a place to call your own that is relaxing only to you, perhaps.

If you take the time to sit and feel or look at the world, perhaps you will see what I see. Maybe you will feel the way I do even if it just for a brief minute or two till you resume your normal routine of life. Just enjoy it. Enjoy life.
