A Moment's Thought on a Warm Summer Day

I love being able to enjoy the day. There is something to be said about being able to sit outside and read a book, soaking up the sun, letting your worries go...at least for the time being. Obligation becomes obsolete on those days. The days where your only obligation is to do whatever you want.

It gives us a chance to become part of something real. Being in nature. We can get caught up in a book, or even our own thoughts. Things become pure for a while. A renewing sense of calm and importance over takes me on those days. I suddently understand everything again, when I can take a moment away from everyay stress and worry. I can realize, life is beautiful. This world is beauiful.

Nothing is without faults, not even ourselves. I have beliefs, I have opinions, and sometimes those things can dominate my mind for a while, and I start to doubt the way our world is turning...Then I sit outside, and listen to the birds. I spend time with people I adore, I enjoy a warm summer night surrounded by firelight, and people who make me laugh. I listen to a beautiful song that I swear was written for me. Then I realize there is a lot of awesomeness in this world, and a lot to fight for. Which is why I get so passionate about the things I beleive, and the things I want to change. I realize a beauty, a purity that we miss out on all too often. I want to preserve it, and cherish it. I want others to see it, and want the same things. This world is much too beautiful to destroy, and so are the people inside of it.
