Standing still

Standing still,
take time to capture the moment
with all your senses...
How does it feel to be where you are?
What sounds resonate around you?
Turn full circle and absorb the colours
and shapes both near and in the distance.
Feel the air on your hands and face
Is it warm or cool?
What can you smell?
What textures do you feel fromsurrounding objects?
We can take a serious stand
or/and mix it with a little humour
depending on where we are and
depending on our state of mind.
Then ask yourself where is the place
you want to be most of your time,
For me, it's by the sea,
feeling the warm sand against my feet,
the salty sea on my face and hands,
smelling the fresh breeze,
and the warm sun, like a comfort blanket,
feeding me with the nutrients needed to survive
the long, dark winter months.
And my beach hut, a place to call
home, where the basic requirements
such as chairs and towels
are stored.
Watching the ships pass and people
walk by.
Drinking a latte from the cafe,
and smiling up at passing walkers.
For the few hours there
I want for nothing and no-one.
Sheer contentment
in my natural environment.
