When I was in Melbourne on the weekend I mostly just walked. I walked until my feet were on fire and my eyes were tired from searching the road ahead. What can I see? I constantly asked myself. What can I see?
I saw a boy kiss the bag on a girl's back when she wasn't looking. He looked sheepish, but triumphant.
I saw graffiti that said 'Life is only here because you let it in'.
I saw a yellow mailbox with a bright pink heart.
I saw a beaming red balloon leave a boy's clutched hand and sail off across the sky reflected in the Yarra. Everyone around stopped to watch it go. We all looked for a very long time.
I saw a salsa band that was so cheerfully buoyant that even without sound they would have made me dance.
I saw a bird fall off a branch, dead.
Inside me I saw that there are no dead ends, only good and bad days. Every morning woken with the plain and simple thought: maybe today.
Maybe today.
What are you seeing lately?

What a lovely post. Every day is a new day and some days we need to look harder to see what surrounds us. How often do we go through life with blinkers on? It's the little things we miss. Beautiful x

I was at the little guy's carol service the other night & the minister spoke of hope. He said that people with hope are people of action. I liked that...it struck a chord.
Maybe today...that struck a chord too.
Today, definitely. x
