A swirl of energy and leaves
A swirl of leaves and energy around me. Sometimes that's how I feel when I visualize myself. So many thoughts, so many perceptions, so much anger out there, so much frustration, so much to understand, so much that has been understood. How to make sense of what you perceive, how to integrate it into a whole. For now I throw my hands up and let everything exist as a hurricane. So much beauty actually.
One thing I absolutely love to do is walk outside barefoot and sun myself. Given my skin complexion I really don't need a tan :) but the sun can prompt your skin to make vitamin D which is
very helpful to you. Did you know it can help fight cancer? Either way, it feels good to let the sun kiss my skin so I do it.
Doing what feels good, a key to happiness if there ever was one. When scientists discover something is beneficial it's amazing how well it matches up to things you enjoy doing anyway.
Walking barefoot is nice because I get to feel the Earth. Shoes just get in the way. I get to feel the warmth of grass that's been warmed by the sun, feel the coolness of grass that hasn't. Feel the bumps, slopes, and textures of the ground. Look at ants and other assorted crawlies go about their business. I really feel a part of nature. Even walking in grass barefoot there are lessons to learn. Some people say it's dangerous. You might pick up germs or step on something! Fear fear fear. Be afraid, ah, I'm tiring of listening to that voice. There are no guarantees in life, no assurances of safety, truly there aren't. The more you attempt to feel safe the more what you attempt to make safe withers away. And what have you then? An empty, if safe, shell. If you want to be happy you must learn to accept the risks. Hmm, much to learn.
If I needed to be I would be a caretaker of the planet. I like cleaning up the debris other people leave behind. The plastic bottles, pieces of paper that float in the wind, wrappers. Ick, it's nasty actually, but the world looks better I think.
