Beauty in Simplicity

        I’m always in love with the idea of tomorrow. The way my coffee will taste as it warms my cold bones. The words of the gospel are just as healing any other day as on Sunday morning. They can speak to even the most broken parts of you. You may have to be early to rise, but you will have the privilege of seeing the world bathed in the orange glow of the morning rising sun. Strive not to think so much about what you are going to say next, but listen to every word escaping the lips of the person you’re speaking to. As my hair drips of shower water, I will feel more comfortable in my own skin. It’s always easier to feel good about yourself in the morning when your mindset hasn’t been washed negative by not having yet seen all the people you believe to better than you. The human skin can be a hard place to live in.

 

             It’s rare to find yourself in love with today. To realize in a moment that you are so perfectly content. It’s easy to find yourself drained on a daily basis, of energy, motivation, confidence, but never should you be of happiness. You were so happy dreaming about this day yesterday, what happened? You were so happy thinking of how your coffee would taste this morning, but you were in such a rush in leaving that you took it for granted. You were so excited to talk to someone today, but you finally did and the conversation was over before you even realized it started. It’s easy to take things for granted, even when you do realize that there are people around you that weren’t born with such blessings. You could rush through your entire life and never enjoy anything without even realizing the quality of life you’re missing. There will be a day when all your physical self will be is a body in the ground. If you look for the purpose in doing this, just living life on fast forward never stopping to enjoy any of it, you won’t find any. You’ll just find this void of perception, this emptiness that fills your entire self. There’s a beauty to the simplicity in this world. God didn’t make any mistakes in his creations. He made these things so you would be captivated by them, let them absorb into your skin. To keep your eyes full of wonder because if you look for it, you’ll never run out of mystery.
