A new day

A lonely bird is making an excited shriek from a nearby tree. It is joined after a few minutes by another bird making a distinct contrast. The blue sky is clear, after a few wet days that were undecided how the weather would go. A cool breeze promises a day that invites us to go out there and experience it face to face, with whatever mundane things we may have to do. Life is an adventure no matter how small or perilous the activities may be, no matter how simple, and no matter if it doesn't cost you much. There is still the challenge of serendipity, something to learn and something to enjoy. For we were put in this world to experience, learn, and enjoy and to share those with the people around us, especially with those we love and those we meet along the way. Unless you are a hermit, you will be meeting a lot of people, many of them nameless faces avoiding other people's stares, quietly going about their routines, or noisily chatting with close friends and family, or even people hiding their depression under masks of fake smiles. In the end life is about relationship and your happiness depends on how you treasure and nurture relationships. Relationships neglected will wither and die and you with it, maybe even drying your bones because of an arrogant disconnect. We experience, we learn and enjoy... and share our life. Everybody wants to be happy, no matter what their calling in life might be, no matter how many times their calling might tumble, roll, and morph. The light of life is to be shared and not to kept under a bushel. Let your light shine brightly. It is a new day. It promises light, not darkness. It beckons and invites. An adventure awaits. The birds now whistle and chirp. The cacophony of passing cars blend to make a symphony.
