plan for magic
then just begin
after all
aliveness is in the happening
(adventure cannot find you on the couch)
choose a cloud to follow
out the back door
let the sky touch your face
welcome all reflections
look until you find the
beautiful

Nature is one of my favorite healers. Maybe we need to start writing prescriptions for following clouds.☮️

My headlights are shining
The twilight moon is still glowing
And the setting sun has thrown
A laser light over the horizon
