Wonderful Insomnia

You know you're doing something right when your sleepless nights are a result of happy, creative, exciting thoughts.

I'm here, outside my apartment. 

Smoking a cigarette with post classical in my ears. 

It's a cool and damp evening. 

I reminisce of the day's events. 

The time I shared with my sister. 

Showing her the city and its little wonders. 

I'm thankful I get to bring her up here. 

If I can accomplish anything on her trip it'd be to show her that the world is overflowed with opportunities to be happy. 

That in every ordinary moment, bliss is there waiting to be felt. 

That in every challenge and disappointment, peace and wisdom are free for the taking. 

That all that is needed to experience these treasures of life is to look for them. 

To turn your attention to them. 

Then immediately you will have them. 

There is no pursuit. 

There is no search. 

Just turn to it and you will have it. 

That with knowing this, every possible outcome of living your dream, both happy and not, is the actual essence of your dream. 

The journey. 

The everyday moments of life directed toward your dream is the dream.

The final accomplishment of it is only one moment of the thousands it is comprised of. 

Live in these eternal flow of present moments and you will live a life of wonder. 

Of beauty. 

Bliss.
