Just sitting here is enough to make me calm. I guess this is what is feels like to be happy? I wouldn't know.
I didn't take my medication last night in hopes of being able to have a little emotion today. It's nice.
It's really beautiful here. The waterfall, the rocks, the noises, and the little snake sitting just 10 feet from me. I've been watching him. I'm sure he knows I'm here, but he's pretending he doesn't care. He's been sitting on the edge of a rock, flicking his tongue, unmoving as the water rushes over him.
There's something peaceful about the snake. Maybe it's how he doesn't mind the water. Or maybe it's his small body next to the large rock that reminds me we're only as fragile as we let ourselves be. It's truly amazing the things we can discover if we allow ourselves a moment of simplicity.
I take it all in with my eyes closed. The slow music playing in my left ear as the waterfall creates it's own sweet melody in my right. The sweet taste of the candy in my mouth. The smell of the river. And the cool, hard rock beneath me.
All these things come together to give me one simple feeling. Insignificance. We're only as powerful as we make ourselves out to be. And sitting next this five foot water fall, above the tiny snake, on this big, open river, I've never felt less powerful in all my life
