Living as Whole

A few principles or philosophical thoughts would not make us whole
But when younger
those are what I sought to grasp
so that wouldn't get washed out by time too quickly
In the process though
lost sights of what we live for
As we gets older
all the details around us starts to be rediscovered
Not until waking around the same few streets for 12 years
did I realize there are more than 10 different types of maple trees
noticed the heavy yellow pollen mostly from the thousands of weeping maple flowers
different time to bear fruits and flowers
different shapes of fruits
different time to turn the leaf color
These sure won't make any difference to the world
but they are the natural beauties really part of our lives
make us feel closely acquainted by naturals around
All the squirrels, birds that are freely jumping from tree to tree, singing at will
those rabbits or foxes or raccoons walking around the trees
eat a few tomatoes, take time staring at you, dig into trash just as your naughty little neighbors
Every moments become humbler as being
and living as whole
