Awaken my Soul

I always think of the saying from a walk to remember "her love is like the wind, i can't see it, but i can feel it." Today has been quite a windy day. The freshness, the smell, the sensation, getting goosebumps. Who thought something you couldn't see could cause so many different sensations? When combined with sunshine it gives me the ultimate high.
It makes me believe. I don't know what in, or why, but the breeze awakens my soul. My heart flutters, even if i just put on lip gloss and my hair sticks to it. Smiling seems easier and more peaceful. I just feel like running with my arms spread like wings and in hopes that the wind will sweep me off the ground. I feel simply serene. Undisturbed.
So everyone, just go outside. Even if for a moment. Close your eyes. Focus on the sense of touch. Don't listen, don't smell, just breath. And FEEL the wind, and the sun and embrace it. Don't think about if you look silly, whether you are a 40 yr old man standing in his driveway or a 20 year old girl who just cut her bangs and they fly everywhere. Whether you had the worst day at work, or the best day at school. The wind, at least for me, gives me a sense of connection with the earth. It is a feeling words can't explain.
Stand there,eyes close, and smile. Because the heart of life is good. Let it awaken your soul. As it has awakened mine.
