Around The Bend

A    L    O    H    A  !
Some Are - Some Aren't - (working/wearing masks)

Souls love. That’s what souls do

and you’ll be amazed-
all the beings around you are souls. 
Be one, see one. It’s one energy.

Watch the stars, and see 
yourself running with them.

 Crane Sky Guardian
Forget about the money for a moment. 
Lose yourself in the wilderness, 
listen to the music of the softly blowing winds, 
feel the rain on your bare skin, let the 
mountains take the burden off your shoulders.

in the morning sun can give

Well,
I bought groceries
and did a laundry!
And it feels like some
sort of huge achievement.
