A Day of Hope

Today was one of those days, one of those days where you go out without planning it, go out with no agenda, no mindset to do anything but just go wherever the wind takes you. The sunny day today was too hard for me to resist, dressed in my new white coat, i took today like one of those days where i let my mind wander, let my soul breathe and just let myself free. I followed wherever my heart went, turned at any turning, walked randomly around, basking in the hot sun, under a winter sky. The sky was baby blue with white clouds just drifting by ever so slowly, as if it understood that today was my day, and it wanted to follow my mood too by swiftly going by, lured too by the rays of the sun, shining down like diamonds from the sky. It has been a really long time since i felt this free, this light. The feeling of freedom is sweet, the feeling of independence, the feeling of knowing you're doing the right thing finally. And nothing and no one could ruin my day. The walk ard the cultural center opened up my mind and my creative juices were allowed to flow. I felt like i could have painted a self portrait or written a novel, it was inspirational just watching the fellow art lovers, dressed in their ever so artsy-fartsy clothes. With old men sitting at benches, newspapers spread over them like some huge map. The students walking by following a leader, like chicks following the mother hen. The soft symphony of the trumpet being played in the background by the busker. It was all so peaceful, the sense of gratitude i had, the sense of art in tuned with my body and mind in perfect synchrony and poetry.

I then finished taking my pictures and was satisfied, seeing the sun still inviting me to its warmth, i decided to head down to my most fav place in Perth, Fremantle, otherwise known as Freo. The tapestry of people that filled the heavily olden century decorated buildings, the young couples, kids and seniors that populated the little boutiques, markets, old churches and old hotels. Even as i snapped at every building, all i was thinking of was how romantic each building looked like, how each building must have a great story behind it. I longed for a nice cup of tea as I sat and admired the architecture, but something in me just wanted to walk. And walk i did. I admired the seagulls, the parrots that were calling out to each other, in soft but clear calls, like loved ones calling out for each other. And even as I sat there, enjoying my day out, I felt so happy, just being out with no agenda, my full space and I could only think of how amazing God's creations are. Nature and serenity is something that I find peaceful here on Earth.

I enjoyed my day out today, having and finding my peace and heart for my soul. Today was one of those days. One of those days u only get in a long long time. But I'm glad i got today, cos i deserve a good day, a day where i can be free. And i deserve to be happy. Just like everyone else. Love is just such a beautiful thing, but you cant love unless you first love yourself. That was what today was about. Love. And freedom. (:
