We humans, being human, crave those nice moments in our lives, about every three hours, when we wish nothing more than to stretch our bodies out on something soft and “chill out”, “lay back,” “rest our bones”, and let the world go by while we lay motionless.
Well, I dislike exposing anyone to bad news, but are you aware that’s impossible? It is not in our best interest to attempt to fool mother nature, for she doesn’t condone laziness. Therefore; to guarantee we are always in some type of transition, our oval orb rotates on it’s wobbly axis at the equator, at about 1,000 mph, and orbits our life-giving ball of fire at close to 17,000 mph. --- plus; our solar system revolves around the nucleus of our galaxy every 250 million earth-years. As a back-up system, our galaxy is flowing through space at about 375 miles per second. So the next time one of us thinks we are going to “cool it”, forget it!
As earth dwellers, we wee life forms are indeed fortunate mortals to be fashioned on a cheerful, orbiting, evolving, and enchanting planet. We swim, paddle, crawl, float, dive, fish in rivers, creeks, ponds, brooks, bayous, canals, fountains, cascades, waves, swamps, and gulfs.
We cruise, voyage, set sail, yacht, race, scull, weigh anchor, steam, and maneuver on oceans and seas. We walk, play, and are cleansed by storms, showers, waves, and torrents. We mount, scale, ascend, clamber, and surmount mountains, peaks, hills, uplands, foothills, highlands and bluffs. We live and play in vales, dells, dales, glens, canyons and hollows. We have trees, shrubs, flowers, scrubs, forests, plants, and weeds. We have sod, pastures, sedges, alfalfa, bluegrass, green grass, sugarcanes, and love grass.
We have land, continents, coasts, beaches, midlands, shores, and boulders. We have animals and mammals of all types and sizes. There are thousands of strains, tones, cadences, resonance’s, and harmonies to soothe our troubled souls – or scare the ______(you fill in the blank space) out of us. Plus, audio, hi-fi, cartridges, and quadraphonic systems to take the sounds with us.
There are thousands of smells, odors, scents, perfumes, aromas, and fragrances to delight our noses. There are thousands of vibrations, impressions, tingles, throbs, trembles, and quivers to inspire our touch. Plus, landscapes, views, scenes, settings, and vistas to caress our eyes. We could live a thousand life times, and never manage to educate ourselves fully on what is indigenous to this planet...and forget about sitting still, it is not going to happen!
So you may as well enjoy your life.
