life?

this entry is inspired by kim and tim's recent posts on life.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing?

just sitting and looking at the sea

watching the wind blowing the tree limbs

the waves rippling in a pond

or a flickering candle

and children playing in the park?

When was the last time you stopped to smell the flowers outside your house

lie on your back and watch the clouds sail by

throw someone a hug

or smile at a stranger?

Because I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet simple things of life which are the real ones after all.

That the small things in life do matter.
