I stand watching the water drops fall to my feet. They fall carelessly within seconds of each other soon to be recycled to the drain beneath. The water is hot. Steam floats above my head and into the small space I occupy. Standing under the waterfall soothes my mind. Ever take such a deep breath of hot air you literally can't breathe? It's a moment of clarity. It's a moment when nothing in life matters but the next rush of oxygen entering your mouth. It's an escape from the swirling mess revolving around me. The stress evaporates for the 10 minutes of my day when my mind can take a break. Drops of purity cling to the contours of my body and wash away the frustration, anger, discouragement, sadness and guilt for the day leaving calm, sensible and happy feelings. A rush of peace surges through my body. These little things in daily life are the ones which bring me back to myself and give me meaning again. I breathe, I feel, I move on. Sighs of relief strangle the stress consuming my thoughts, squeezing them until they dissolve. Yes, it's these little things to truly make me happy. It's my moment and my moment only. After these pass, I want others to feel the same small bursts of life that I do, I want to allow those people in. Feel...smell...touch...listen....just breathe in the world around you. Enjoy the snapshots in time like this. We all need the little things. We all need our moments.
