my affair with the universe


I try to be quiet to be slow. I need slowness to remind myself that life is more than gossip and nonsense. I still believe that life is full of undiscovered wonders.

I can't be tied down to some illogical routine that eats up the part of me that I love -- the part that makes me appreciate the little things and the simplicity which I find so beautiful and sad at the same time. 

I find it suffocating sometimes to be surrounded by people because there's the need to listen, to understand, to respond and to please. On the other hand, the universe asks nothing from me. And so I keep to myself. I can be who I want to be without prejudice and standards. I just observe and watch the universe unfolds and she gives back a blue pail of wonder and a sense of contentment. 

As the moon slowly goes down, I smile and send a kiss to the sky to thank the universe for making me feel less lonely on this cool august night breeze.
