HIGHER EACH DAY
 

We're both the same,
we know how to breathe,
why do I see the gold,
and you focus on the mud?

I see that same mud,
and feel excited about nature,
you see it as dirty,
as it sticks to your shoes.

Discovery, self discovery,
like a child in a candy store,
it is what I feel each day,
I get higher with each new light.

It is from a mind uncluttered,
it is from being here now,
it is from expecting HAPPY,
it is from loving the mud.

Higher each day,
discovering every new way,
nothing is here to stay,
with time, with life, I play.

Wanting to experience as much,
as I possibly can do,
each element I encounter,
presents a new candy store.

Excitement in change,
for it brings upon the unknown,
in the unknown is excitement,
for all again becomes possible.

Never tiring of new,
never tiring of the excitement,
each in a new wrapper,
awaiting me to discover.

To unwrap,
so slow, so delicate,
to uncover the fruit,
the savor the now.

Higher each day,
it is what life is,
each new encounter,
begins a new chapter.

No luggage to drag,
no regrets or guilts,
no scrap books to maintain,
no yesterdays to compare.

Yes, it all has a price,
yes, we all have priorities,
yes, we all have seen mud,
can you turn it to gold?

Higher each day,
into clouds with a smile,
in touch with the trees,
in tune with cosmos.

Oh, what a time,
oh, what a life,
oh, what a day,
oh, I love to unwrap !

Same thing, new day,
same place, new day,
same face, new day,
same keyboard, new words.

Mud is beauty,
if your eyes know gold,
if your heart feels the smile,
if your mind loves life.

Delicate is nature,
delicate is the love,
delicate is our one life,
delicate is each now.

How to live it,
how to enjoy it,
how to savor it,
how to explore it.

We each have the ability,
we each have the time,
we each know why,
do YOU love the mud?

Higher each day,
each, a new way,
for, come what may,
life remains THE PLAY.

Join in the party,
join in the fun,
burn al the luggage,
leave it in the mud !

Choice, what a simple thought,
freedom, what a beautiful word,
life, what a WONDERFUL state,
as we happily roll in the mud !
