Have you ever noticed that sometimes it feels like the days slip by. You follow a routine filled only with preparing for work, work, preparing and eating meals, your commute, and preparing for the next day? Sometimes there is a thin line between existing and living. This line separates what feels like a Groundhog Day from some simple things that make life great.

Crossing the Thin Line
A genuine laugh.
A shared smile.
A deep conversation.
A thoughtful contemplation.
A short walk.
A long reflective pause.
A delicious lunch.
A worthy cause.
A kind gesture.
A little surprise.
A random purchase.
A twinkle in someone’s eye.
It can be internally driven, it can be externally motivated.
It can be deliberately sought after, it can be accidentally activated.
It’s not a chasm to cross, just a simple fine line… Between a day lost simply existing, and a life sublime.
Poetic, astute, inspired.
