"As life moves all around you...the best thing to do sometimes is stand still."

I come to realize that at times its best to be like trees...they stand in place and are only shaken by a soft breeze or a strong wind. Sometimes i sit on my front steps and jus listen quietly to what mother nature has to say and as crazy as it sounds...it calms me. When my world is moving 190 mph and i cant seem to get my mind to stop and focus on one thing i jus sit and watch the trees on my block. They stand still bc yes their roots keep them there and yes they're not human they cant get up and leave...but it amazes me how still they can stand and a simple breeze will shake them back and forth and for that minute i feel like they're rocking is just for me...the unique sound the leaves make when they're hittin each other is like a unique language, a special secret shared just with me. A secret that just tells me to stop and enjoy that moment when my thoughts dont exist and i reach piece of mind and soul...for that moment im in a state of piece: no worries..no frustrations...not one thought.

So i ve decided that instead of driving myself crazy and lettin my mind get the best of me...I need to just stand still and just "BE" (gracias Sarjento). Enjoy life with all its ups and downs and back and forths. STop thinking so much about the future about the shoulda, woulda, couldas and just enjoy the now. Stand tall like a tree and let life take me where its supposed to... let the wind rock me back and forth..but never ever ever let it knock me down.
