Day 7 : Perfection



 

You help your brothers, sisters, parents and neighbours, even those whose name you barely remember.

You live surrounded by diversity, in peace and respect.


You create beauty, no hate, no envy


You know much about chemistry but little about waste


You are part of the music of silence, touching the wind with you delicate fingers


You hardly complain, sleepy in winter, brilliant in spring, radian in summer, elegant in fall


You breath like no one, giving more than you take


You live the long life, abundant in time and pacience


You are my home, perfect and cosy


My playground, meditation mat, my secret


I owe you the life and the freedom of your surroundings


My friend, my brother, my family...


You FOREST, far more perfect, than any human creation

It is funny how some details are crystal clear, like my grandpa opening the door or my grandma bringing gorgeous dishes to the table. Those times make one aware, that happiness is subtle, and we normally realised that we were happy, only years or even decades later. I am not sure how much impor...
