Discovering the world and beyond

Story

Sense of Wonder

High in the sky
the northern lights dance
disappearing and reappearing
between the stars over our heads
           as if to say
‘we know we are here by chance’

the sun couldn’t contain us any longer
 so we voyage to the poles of the earth
   to shine brighter and mightier
against the darkness
 of the unending winter night
    bathing the skies in a dance of light

As I look up to enjoy this magical sight
   I am filled by a deep sense of wonder
as I am reminded and humbled
  that we are all part
of something infinitely larger
    than life

Give life a try

When will you wake up and realize
that your life is steered by your own two feet
that out there is a whole world for you to meet
waiting for you to start moving in all directions
to come alive under the touch of human connection

so go spread your wings and do a thousand things
don’t be afraid to give adventure a try
and let yourself fully experience the high
feel the adrenaline pulsing through your veins
and let go from the reins that are holding you back

Aren’t you always telling me you feel trapped?
One day you’ll look back only to realize that you have never woken up
that a lie of stability and security fed to you under society’s scrutiny
became your life and false sense of truth
and just like that you will have wasted your beautiful youth

So go and have a look in the mirror and see
if today is the day you’ll decide to be finally free



In Between

Embrace the unfamiliar
and everything that’s new
even when it’s difficult
it will challenge you
But it will also equip you
with wisdom and courage
to guide you through
the journey that is your life
