Sometimes, when I wake up early, the sun hasn't quite risen yet.
The light it provides when it finally does rise is beautiful.
Sometime I'd like to go outside early in the morning and watch a proper sunrise, to see the beauty that our world does have. The beauty that is overlooked.
Because we too often overlook the simple parts of life. I think that that is part of why I love childcare so much. I love going for walks with kids I teach or babysit, they will stop to look at the cracks in the sidewalk, or a small bug on the playground. These are things that so many of us simply overlook, because we are too busy rushing from place to place.
There is always time to look around oneself, to take in the sheer wonder that the world holds in it.
Which is part of why I love walking. Walking puts me right in the midst of the wonder that is the world. I can breathe fresh air and look around me with hopes of absorbing some of the wonder that the world has.
I long to climb onto a roof (with permission of course) and watch a sunset and sleep there for the night, and wake up early enough to see the sunrise.
There is so much to experience in our world, and if we were to slow down, even if only for a moment, we'd be able to glean at least a small part of it, making us more aware and more connected.
