beauty

Beauty is all around me, it's in the big brilliant sky's and in the tiniest twinkle in the eye. it holds more power then ever seen. beauty is remarkable, outstanding and beautiful. it's something seen, something unseen, something spoken, something whispered in the winds, something quiet, something still, something unheard. it's where you look, where you breath. it's here in everything. beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder, open your eyes, your mind, your soul, yourself and see, what we are created to see. in the dark, in the shadows, in the pain, in the tears, in hopes, in dreams, it will always be. close your eyes and see the beauty that's with in, open your heart and receive. 

slow down...i have to remind myself often. i get so caught up in the things i do, that i miss the things that often matter. a story from my one of my kids, i hear from the other side of the house, instead of right in front of me, because for some reason i didn't stop to ask. i watch them play, but can't remember the last time i played with them, because i'm so caught up in the things that i think i should be doing, instead of the things i want to do. i over book myself thinking that tomorrow there will be more time, when tomorrow i find another reason to book something. i'm in survival mode i tell myself just trying to make it till the peace comes, till i have no other thing but just to be still. peace i take for granted i wait for it to come, instead of just letting it be. life is going on and on, and i forget to take it all in. so today i'm forcing myself to slow down, to listen, to wait, to let this life be. i don't want to live a life full of regret, as i've lived my latest nights, regretting that i didn't spend more time being with the ones i love the most. slow down, is all i can tell myself, because i know i can never stop, i know i'm suppose to keep moving, but moving into the greatness, not into the storm.
