still.

Just a little side note.....
To be quiet and patient only to listen. To see whats around you from every angle. You notice the cracks in the pavement, the new leaves on the tree's and sun kissed cheeks on the faces of those walking by. You see possibility with summer so near, but not yet close enough to taste. The air is warm, the sun is bright and the heat lays upon your skin. The streets are full of people of every kind. The breeze brings people about to wonder the newly lit earth by it's sunshine thats been far away all winter.  Bicyclist ride by on your way to school and the neighborhood cat prances along side you. Familiar faces make your heart smile from within  and you are greeted by the presence of memories that made your heart feel that exact same way. The sky stays blue for much longer until it fades into majestic shades of pink and purple. The window is propped open as you lay your head to sleep and the sound of night takes you away into the land of the dreams. Life is beautiful. In more ways than I can see and in more ways than I have even experienced. Dreams are coming true all around me and wishes have been answered. People will be leaving in a few short months to conquer the unknown with everything they've got. Themselves. If anything gets left behind it will not be whats within. Oh the places you will go....far away or close by you will always carry the love within your soul and the joy and proudness of simply being you. Whatever it is you wish to be I believe that you can do it. Go to the places that seem too pretty to even be real and remember that home is where your heart began its journey and that it will always be there to fill in the blanks if you need it to. Every once in awhile in the midst of life....just be still. Look around. Quietly regard the day for what it is and how lucky we are to be apart of it.
