I can't even tell you how much I savor simply being alive. Every day holds extraordinary possibility, and I relish that potential. I love life.
1. I love the contrast of extreme dry heat and uninterrupted sun verse cool, clear water. I love striding the line between the two.
2. I love full moons in starry skies. I love when I wake up in the middle of the night and a patch of moonlight lies on my floor. I curl up in the whiteness and stare at the moon until I fall asleep.
3. I love being barefoot. I love the freedom I feel when my feet experience raw ground.
4. I love laughing until I can't make a sound. I like it when my stomach is sore the next day.
5. I love it when people smile at me for no reason at all.
6. I love it when I'm reading and suddenly things start to click, so I write furiously and read some more and write, and then stop and think. And it all starts to make sense, and I read and I write and I think, and the more I do this, the more excited I become. I feel bigger, stronger, and more complete for what I've come to know, even if it is a realization of how little I matter-- because I know it.
7. I love food. I love eating. I love tasting something and distinguishing flavors while enjoying the dish as a whole. Food is an experience.
8. I love being loved. It is a rare feeling. I mean, I feel liked often. But, there are only a few moments where I've known and felt the mutual love between me and one other soul. And we both just knew. And it was beautiful.
9. I love solitude. I love taking hikes alone and observing the beauty of the earth and it's inhabitants.
10. I love people: their goals their dreams and idiosyncrisies. I am intriged by their infinitely diverse patterns of thought and philosophies about their lives and about the universe.
