Anyone that cannot release their innards to feel the peaceful beauty of a flowing river, the majesty of an uplifting sunrise, the penetration through the stiffness of the being of a red cardinals whistle. Nor even the way a steaming cup of liquid moves through the internal cavity, nor the pleasure of a taste of sweet honey as the first exposure of the palate in the morning. Nor let the sweetness of heart rousing spiritual hymths enliven the fluidity of the heart through the trueness of sorrow and joy and onward to love and peace.

I wondered what it is you do to keep life worth living, day to day.
