Let It Be
This feeling comes every time a tender ray of the autumn sun touches the colorful leaves on the ground. They shine and make your whole heart smile. You touch the leaves with your sport shoes and can’t get enough of the crispy sound making your ears tickle. You run faster and faster, your blood pumping, lungs spreading and arms going high into the air.
This feeling comes once the splashing waves turn into the soothing foam embracing every part of your body. You want to dissolve, disappear, yet paradoxically feeling alive.
This feeling comes if your fate is ever generous enough to give you a chance to hold your just born baby in your arms. To smell its hair, to touch its soft skin, to cuddle as if time does not exist.
It is as huge as eternity, yet as tiny as a grain of sand. It can be everywhere if you are brave enough to let it in and nowhere if you never dare.
Open up, let it in, let it be.
