“The misty fog settles on my hair
Like the tender touch of a lover,
And runs down my face
Like beautiful pearls of tears.”

​-d.h.

“Every once a while,
​Remember to live a little--
Amidst the frenzy and chaos of life.
Take time for a moment of breath--
To fill your lungs with a cup of crisp air.
Just for a moment, 
take a seat under a lush green tree
And let its soothing shade
Hold your wandering thoughts in its cradle;
Allow the earth to hold
The weight of your life
And rejuvenate your tired heart.
When the winds are gusty,
Set your mind free — 
Let your imagination
take a ride on the wild side.
And then on a cloud-filled day,
Soak up in the rain, jump and splash— 
And pause for a moment to reflect.
In the humdrum of your daily affairs,
Stop for a heartbeat--
To listen for a song in the chirp of the birds,
Or be soothed by the sweet scent of flowers.
Under a clear dark sky, 
Hold space for your mind to be awed and opened wide
by the wonder of a zillion stars.
And slowly let the night wrap you
in the quiet comfort of its stillness.
When the morning comes,
Let the warmth of the sun
Enter the deepest crevice of your soul,
To rekindle the flame within you
And soak you in the brilliance
Of your own light.”
