There is nothing better
than hiking with your best friend
that knows you better
than anyone else in the world?
Hiking up mountains
to get to the view from the top,
then slowly descending
on a different path to take win all the beauty.
Going out on a dinner date
away from everyday chores and routines,
changes how we look
at each other.
It is lovely to make plans
for a time just for us,
for a vacation with the family,
and for time with myself.
So easy to get everyone else
on a schedule or spontaneous get-together,
but to find time for myself
seems to be always secondary on the list.
Time for change.
Sitting in meditation,
writing a daily poem,
making a commitment to myself.
It feels good.
It feels right.
I wished I could always
just be in this moment.
