Dream Life

                                                    To drink coffee and watch the sunrise      with nowhere to go. To climb a mountain for the view not for        the selfie. To cook healthy wholesome food to  nourish my body, not to lose weight. To spend more time with my family, not working to afford things we don't need. It's time to slowdown. To stop. To Listen.   It's time to turn off the noise and distraction, the constant need for more, the comparisons amd consumerism. It's time to live simply and be       Wild and free

  listen when it's raining as the water hits the ground and you'll hear a million secrets that are hidden in that sound the pitter patter raindrops  hold the whispered words inside of the people who have shared them with the velvet midnight sky the drops that pound the pavement spill out anger loud and harsh they're the words and thoughts of people who have cried out to the stars the rain that adds to oceans and their vast capacious flow  is the grief of people holding on  for fear of letting go the waters flooding cities overwhelming homes and towns are the silent words of suffering entrusted to the clouds and when the clouds are heavy, when our feelings fill the sky, when our thoughts are too oppressive then the Earth begins to cry so listen when it's raining if you're quiet then you'll hear all the secrets and emotions that are muffled by Earth's tears

                                  I can't promise you that dark clouds will never hover over our lives or that the future will bring us many rainbows. I can't promise you that tomorrow will be perfect or that life will be easy. I can promise you my everlasting devotion, my loyalty, my respect, and my unconditional love for a lifetime. I can promise that I'll always be here for you, to listen and to hold your hand, and I'll always do my best to make you happy, and make you feel loved. I can promise that I'll see you through any crisis, and pray with you, dream with you, build with you, and always cheer you on and encourage you. I can promise that I'll willingly be your protector, your advisor, your counselor, your friend, your family, your everything. I promise you.
