In Moderation

I never realized how sad our world is today. Never once have I woken up before the sun has peaked from the horizon and thought, today is new beginning. At least not in a very long time. Lately, it is more the tedious effort of tumbling out of the bed sheets, carrying unnecessary technology and bags the size of a rhino until our backs bent over and seized to move from all the spiraling pain. Well, when all that fails, we get into our high powered cars and bring the environment down to the steady decline one gas pedal at a time.

So, forgetting my i-pod, my cell phone a few weeks back, along with a few of my back breaking text books, I trudged out the door. The car was no where in sight [thank god for that. I loved walking, and the invention of cars simply killed all that. Were it not for the hyperactive imaginations of my parents, I would walk up Mount Everest, well if that were humanely possible without me freezing over.] Without the headphones shoved up the crevices in my ear, or the large bundle of luggage on my back, I felt 10 pounds lighter, more hyper, and more aware.
The chirping of the birds were ten times louder, the crunching sound of the leaves as my feet collided with them, sounded like bricks toppling over, and my eyes couldn't stop wandering. It almost felt as if, I had never lived or been in this residential area before. So now, even with my obsession with music, I feel so much better listening to the music of nature. I mean sure I slip up, feast on cravings for technology every so often, but hey we are only human, right?

Souvenez-vous à l'haleine,
l'haleine l'air de vie,
il est trop beau de résister.
