Simple Connections

Love will drive us to find inspiration that could take us away from all of our troubles, launching us into moments of simple pleasures and fantastic hope of a better tomorrow. No matter where we find ourselves there are certain connections in life that will surely make us realize what is most important. If we can teach ourselves to look at the world again as children do we will discover that our imagination can take us to any place that we really want to go, without limitation. Somewhere along the line in our lives we learn to judge outside circumstances and allow them to leave us crippled in fear. Children simply look at what is in front of them with awe, with a keen sense of discovery and a purpose to live as large as the world around them.

We have the capacity to dream of any life we choose and to get there by allowing ourselves to find hope in life's simple connections. The smile of an old friend, holding the door for a stranger or a song that moves us can give us moments of delicate freedom. The sparkle in a child's eyes can lift our spirits no matter what may be happening in our lives at any time. There is no age limit to getting "butterflies" when we see that person that touches our soul with a simple touch of their hand. Right now we can start teaching ourselves to let go of fear and begin again, looking at the world around us in awe, with a keen sense of discovery and start to live purposefully as large as the world around us. Let us walk confidently in the direction of our dreams holding onto life's simple connections.
