Detox.

A mug of tea in hand, too-long sweatpants, and a beautifully cool summer night always brings me peace of heart because I realize (or remember) that the world is just so much bigger than me and my stresses. I listen to the crickets chirp and think, "They don't have a care in the world. O how wonderful to fulfill your end so easily..."
The world is so much bigger than me. The wind swirls and caresses everything in it's path, the trees grow ever taller, creatures are content in survival and rest, the sky is bigger than I could ever wrap my mind around and the tiny star I see is really a huge fire-ball (or as Google just told me "A fixed luminous point in the night sky that is a large, remote incandescent body like the sun.") millions of miles away. And here I am. Sitting, admiring, soaking in this brilliant creation around me -- this creation that has existed before me and will continue to exist after me. I am so little in comparison to the vast history surrounding me, but, for some reason I am meant to be here in the midst of it all. And that is reason enough for me to breathe, smile, and keep on battling each and every day to be who I am meant to be.
