Slow down.
.
Slow down to hear the birds chirping.
.
To hear the crickets singing, the trees rustling, your steps falling softly on the moisture-laden moss.
.
Slow down to smell the grass.
.
To smell the crisp apples on the tree, the delicate late-summer blackberries, and the final summer scents billowing on the impending autumn breeze.
.
Slow down to feel your heart beating.
.
To feel the air nourishing your lungs, your soul freeing your mind, and your body exhaling its self-doubts.
