Blessings






These are my blessings every single day. I don't have to go half way round the world to find beauty and grace, delicious things to eat.
Sometimes the further you go the closer you get to where you have been and sometimes the nearer you are the further you are away from where you are going.
Sometimes it just right under your nose - not up in the mountains, not sailing with the clouds, not how much you can spend, not run, run, run but look, look, look, feel, feel, feel.
Can you feel it - can you feel the strawberries - the first touch to your lips a slight bristle then the feel of warm summer days and tennis balls and wimbledon and clotted cream smother your tongue.
It's not by plane, it's not by car, it's not by ship, it's not by train, it's that ride without moving, travelling lightspeed to a star without leaving the spot - exactly where you are.
