The Side Effects of Endorphins

Illusion

Published by

Today

Hiking the busy trails

outside of Boulder.

It was an easy

yet rocky hilly trail

The sky beautiful,

The Rockies majestic

I met a woman roaming down

the trail, cane in hand

Wearing sunglasses

Legally blind feeling her way

down the trail.

We talked briefly

She seemed joyous happy

to be out in nature.

I closed my eyes

momentarily the same

Walking down the trail

Eyes closed

trying to experience

her experience feeling

the wind, smelling pine, listening

To the song of a bird

only

To open my eyes and spoil

the illusion.

    What a beautiful and thought-provoking experience! Nature speaks to us in so many ways beyond what our eyes can see. Your brief encounter with this courageous woman reminds us that joy is not always about seeing the world, but about feeling, hearing, and experiencing it with an open heart. Sometimes, closing our eyes helps us see life more deeply. Thank you for sharing this touching reflection

I would love to hear you opinion as well

Hello,

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
