30.Sense

Hello again and today is Monday, October 15, 2012. The senses in everyday life seem to be jumbled about in the rush of all these things. The way we're told to smell the roses, by sound, distracts us. A jarring yell, usually when you were just about to smell them, but the yell makes us resentful and we choose to go out of our way to not smell the roses. The smell of these figurative roses, the soft purr of an imaginary violinist's bow strokes on small strings, the warm wafting smell of freshly baked bread carried by the breeze to fill your palate with saliva and for the warmth to hold you with a tender caress. These experiances get pushed away when we try to rush along to another place, worrying that we'd be late. Late to catch the train or bus or what have you, late for taking a trip that you're taking to try to experiance the world. Even though its a blooming spring blossom opening right before your eyes. You just need to stop and look.

As always,

ZenMercury,
Keep calm, and stay a while, you might see something.

I think a lot about many things, but don't like to think about one thing too much; I'm kind of a rambling man.

137.The Past

Hello again, and today is Wednesday, January 30, 2013. Lately I've been thinking about the past. More specifically about the past that seems to be a lot better than how it is today.

A Moment

Everyday in my life I try to find something. A moment. That I know I'll never forget if it's something so little or something of vast importance either way I seek for a moment everyday.

If Not Now, Then When?

We push ourselves so we can have a better tomorrow. Why can’t we push to have a better today. We work hard so that we will appreciate life in the future.

New Perspective

If you took away my ability to see, Lord, how would I deal. It would bring insight on true beauty, only experiencing pure soul. I could not judge on what my eyes see, for sight is sometimes deceiving.

Sometimes

Sometimes it's nice to be out of touch. Sometimes it's nice when you don't have to rush. Sometimes it's nice to read a good book. Sometimes it's nice to give nature a second look.

Ordinary Moments

It's ordinary, but it's beauty aches to be realized. So ordinary, it's grace so often disguised. Moment by moment it lies within these confines. Too often overlooked by preoccupied minds.

Here And Now

You cannot change the past. It is written to last. You can learn a lesson. If there is a lesson to be learnt. You cannot change how you feel. Even if it makes others reel. You can plan the future.
