Cruising along the Canyon Rim Trail, listening to Eagles songs, I understand why people become addicts. My mind and body are flying fast. I love the whole world. I clearly see how beautiful life and the world are. As I become "airborne", small birds fly ahead, fleeing as I soar. I hover to admire a glorious sunflower and tell it "You're beautiful!"
The cause of this is 2 T of cocoa in my green tea this morning (along with soy milk and 1 t each of turmeric and ginger - none of which I'm addicted to!).
I scribble notes as I jet along. I refuse to stop to neatly write.
Sometimes life is not enough. We get bogged down by anxieties concerning most everything. Cocoa (and the Eagle's music!) help me, at least for a while, to rise above these worries. I feel plain good. I've shed my aging body and all my worries. I step back (fly high!) and appreciate how wonderful life really is. It's like the first day of summer vacation when I was a kid or like suddenly noticing a rainbow arc across the sky. I feel free. This is what most of us want instead of how our lives get so mixed up sometimes.
