Moments of Awe.

Meagan and I were talking today about the simple things that allow us to escape the confines of hopelessness finding beauty and comfort in things so minuscule. We talked about waking up and eating a good breakfast with those that you love. We talked about finding time to breathe and let go of what technology forces us to cling to everyday. We talked about the miraculous nature of redemption and self-worth. But one thing truly allowed inspiration to flow through my chest today, as if by some strange fluke. On the way up to our University (Nipissing U) the Canadian shield lines the road, covered in names of those that graciously took a path of growth in our school, and often times the serene atmosphere allows one to separate themselves between the frustrations of home, the frustrations of school. We discussed the deer that often walk the paths, the rocks and hedges that surround the road and how much a simple glimpse of that non-man made beauty can really impact a day. It's almost as if everything else is obsolete and one must look and admire a species able to live without any binds of society, of isolation. Perhaps, as Darryl says, it is genetically part of us to inquire and inspect the animal. Perhaps as it is seen as a past holder of our survival, holding the meat that kept many of us living so many centuries ago. Perhaps we stare in amazement and perhaps jealousy. That feeling I get is near to the feeling of first love, that movement of energies in the chest, as if waves were flowing back and forth between my spine and my sternum. It really makes you value life, in all it's uniqueness. It's so fulfilling and enjoyable, something so simple.

Simplicity;
.... And that's what makes life so beautiful
