I’ve sampled…
Love, hate, jealousy, anger, compassion, humor, peace, tranquility, excitement, fear, nervousness, embarrassment, anxiety, confusion, engagement, depression, loneliness, exhilaration, community, lifted-spirits, care, concern, grace, patience, exhaustion, humility, arrogance, and each of these energies shaped me. I’ve fought with each of them, wrestled and battled with each of them, and even when it made zero sense to embrace some of them, I still did.
I’ve tasted…
Sweet, sour, salty, rich, decadent, savory, earthy, bitter, smooth, burning, and each of these palate testers, shaped me. The ability to taste is a gift and it allows for such depth in the experience of life’s nourishment.
I’ve seen…
Clouds, leaves, trees, skies, rainbows, waterfalls, waves, oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, puddles, islands, mountains, deserts, plains, birth, death, disease, health, animals, canyons, valleys, trenches, and each of these gifts from our planet come with a memory, an experience, an adventure.
I’m experiencing…
Life. And there’s so much more to experience. I wish for each of us to wake each day with a curiosity, a willingness to adventure, and the blessings to keep our eyes, ears, taste buds, and hearts wide open. As Dr. Seuss once said, “Oh the places you’ll go.”
God bless all of you- and may He send peace to you during your times on this planet.
Much love- Trav
