Where’s the Beauty?

Where’s the beauty?
I feel the cool sting of my dog’s nose on my hip
My eyes blink open and I take in the day
Sauntering out of bed in my PJs
No thoughts churn as my mind is so clear
Rays of light escape through windows
I absorb the pure newness of each moment
And I am carried away by morning
The stillness inside awakens my senses
Envelops me in the wide open space of being
The trees whisper in the wind
Birds sing in a vivacious clarity
And I am at peace
No filter for which to speak or think
No mask to hide flaws or true feelings
Just life being lived
Breath being breathed
Just me
