Bare feet on warm earth.
Fingers trailing through cool water.
Lying on the grass, staring at the clouds.

This is what it means to feel fully alive.

We need to fully inhabit ourselves - stretch into our aliveness, feel it all.
And perhaps, then, we'll remember that the sacred is here too - in the ordinary, the sensory, in the fully felt moment.

Joy is not naivety. It is divine defiance.
