In love again
Being in love is wonderful
just like Spring in your heart.
Everything is different.
Everything glows.
If you’re in love
everything is pretty and sunny
because up to now
you’ve become half blind,
blinded by the depressing,
heavy view of life.
There are many sides to being in love.
But there is one kind of love
that we need more than ever before
in our complicated, problem-laden society,
in our society which has had an overdose of psychiatry.
It is being in love
with ordinary everyday things.
Recent discoveries
have not been discoveries of wisdom,
but discoveries of speed
that don’t bring us one step
closer to happiness.
Discover again with me
The ordinary things,
The simple charm
of friendship ,
a few flowers for a sick person,
an open door, a welcoming table,
eating plain old fish and French fries
or a hamburger,
lazing in a garden chair
gazing at the sky,
a handshake, a grin,
the quiet of a church,
a child’s drawing,
the opening of a bud,
the chirping of a bird,
a row of poplars,
a stream, a mountain, a cow…
Life becomes a feast
If you can enjoy ordinary everyday things.
It is Spring! Yippee!
I’m in love again
-with ordinary things
Don’t forget
That every day is given to you
As an eternity to be happy.
