Have you tried..?

Long time no see. Damn. Even saying that is a lie. There has been so long gap between these things that I am really amazed if you still kept up with it.

Have you ever tried blocking the whole world? With your eyes? With your ears?

Try seeing with the eyes of a child's

Close your eyes wherever you are, don't get stupid and do it while driving or something. Close eyes while sitting on a metro. Close your eyes while waiting for the red light to change to green. Close your eyes while sitting in class. Close your eyes while singing a lullaby to your kid. That way you will really hear things around you. You will hear the birds sing. You will hear people talking about stupid things. You will hear the couple across the street whispering something. You will hear the leaves moving. You will hear someone's pencil hitting the floor. You will hear your own heartbeat. You will hear your own rhythm. You will hear so many things. All you need to do is to listen to the sounds. You don't need trick or treat to sharpen up your senses. All you need to do is focus and close your eyes.

Listen to the world

Block your ears with your hands. Make it so that you can't hear a thing. Make it so that you hear silence. You will see things that you have never noticed before. There is M love R engraved into a tree next to the buss stop. There are owls in your boss's pen that they always use. There are someone's sneakers hanging in the staircase. There is an old letter from your grandma under your bed. There is a smile on the of the girl who you always meet in the coffee shop where you always get your coffee in the morning. But you never noticed. Not until now. Now you can imagine their love. Now you know more about your boss. Maybe those were your old sneakers which you lost a long time ago. Now you will finally understand why grandma has been so angry with you. Now you are able to smile back.

Being simple can be wonderful. Being casual can be beautiful. Being here is a wonder.

The world is wonderful. But we need to see and hear the wonders. We need to open our senses. We need to stop. We need to take a one minute, just one, to notice these things. Maybe they are meaningless now but what if that girl is the one. What if your grandma has little time left. What if the pencil you lifted for someone is the uniting point. What if we just smile and enjoy ourselves. In this busy and dark world, where everything is bad and stressful, there is still light and happiness.
