// june 2013 //
be a capturer. be an adventurer.
be an explorer, an observer of the world take two seconds courage
of the ordinary, of the mudane, for a five second leap.
seeking beauty where others find none be courageous. reach out.
with eager eyes, an open heart, be the first to take the jump
and a notebook brimming with stories. too many are afraid of.
be a doer. be healthy.
jot down lists. do things that drink water. grow meals.
have been seeping into your dreams be out-of-doors.
these past few months. exercise. drink in fresh air.
be creative. be present.
cook. paint. write. read. connect. learn about people.
write what's one your heart. laugh. breath. study. ask.
document life. whether it don't just see but observe.
be shared with the world
or in your personal keeping.
write hat should never be forgotten.

"this is my heart for the summer. to live. to breathe. to create. to thrive on busy but not glorify it. to be so alive that it drips like the sun spilling for cerulean sky."
ReplyDeleteDarling, this is something I'd love to memorize and say it over and over and over again. I want to hear it all the time. You are wonderful and this breathless.
And my heart is pretty much wrapped up in this.
I love you.

Okay, first of all, we are so much a like. We're the same age, we love tea, books, acting, collecting antiquities, and Sherlock! I'm a total Sherlockian(I don't know how I'll survive waiting until the next season of Sherlock...I'll just comfort myself by reading the books again) Love these pictures and lovely words. :)
