simplicity

the simplest things in life can make you smile: driving to a mountain lake, feeling the chilly wet air envelope you in the dark; smelling sickly sweet pungent pine; hearing the faint buzz of insects; realizing the band of light above is the Milky Way galaxy, blinding when you're in the middle of absolutely nowhere; walking though a patch of greenery, dotted with dew, sparkling as the sun comes up, long before anyone else is awake. the moment is yours alone. you savour it, and can make it through another day.
