something precious
passes over us
as we bud
from offspring
to fully ripened beings,
and that is
to have our eyes beheld
by the wonders of the world,
to marvel upon the moon
in awe,
to be star struck
by the milky way,
to be in romance
with nature,
without craving to know
all the answers
May you awaken
May you see clearly
May you be love
Take care
Personal trainer and coach by day — entrepreneur, poet, and Karateka by night. A minimalist within an extremist world. A spiritualist navigating a human existence. A man seeking his potential.
I’m not currently active on social media, found it too distracting and time-consuming.
