When I woke up this morning it wasn’t to an alarm clock.

I woke up simply because.

After I saw it was 8:46 I rolled over and went back to sleep.

At 9:20 I woke up again.

 

Today is a beautiful day.

Not just because it’s my day off. Not just because I don’t have to put pants on until 6pm. Not just because my bed was warm and cozy.

Today is a beautiful day, because life exists in a plethora of ways.

Today is a beautiful day, because leaves fall in Autumn.

Today is a beautiful day, because the world is vast and wonderful.

Today is a beautiful day.

Simply because it is.

All around the world people are having a different version of today. Each unique in their own right. Children are being born, people are dying, a kid is getting their first puppy, a person is being proposed to, a person is being divorced, someone is saying goodbye for the last time, and another is saying hello for the first.

Everyday all around the world just about everything is happening, and that’s just on this tiny little speck of dust in the universe.

 

I feel in my short life I’ve developed into a person with an open mind. I like to think I’m well rounded in my views of existence.

When I woke up today I was filled with a sense of elation, and I know how precious that is. I kept thinking over and over ‘today is beautiful'(hence the title).

All around the world people are gripped with fear, hatred, and bigotry.

Why?

I don’t know. No one knows. If anyone claims to know, they’re a liar. It’s far too complicated. You can blame religions, you can blame governments, the systems, racism, you can blame whatever you want.

I don’t think the source matters so much anymore.

You listen to music right?

Music has been on my mind a lot lately.

I invite you to listen to six songs. It takes about 18 minutes. Some are love songs. Some aren’t. I want you to look at them from the view of humanity as a whole.

The first.

the second..

The third…

the fourth….

the fifth…..

the sixth……

 

As a species we need love. As a people we need love.

It’s not impossible to obtain, it’s not easy either.

We have a chance though.

This gives me hope.

Just my thought of the day.

Time for some tea.
