When the Sky is Blue

When the sky is blue, it feels like a Luther Vandross concert, maybe an Adele concert or an oldies concert! Maybe soul? Just know it's a good time.

I'd actually describe it as sunshine, but the kind that's warm to the skin.

One that hits the right spot when it's cold and your body is craving some natural warmth. Then your body tingles in gratitude and you release a deep breath of satisfaction— That's precisely how I feel when the sky is blue. My heart silently squeals and beams with joy. (Get it?) :))

The world feels lighter and I think to myself, 'Time seems to be a gentleman today!' Nothing feels rushed and everything I do seems to have a pleasant ring to it. I can finally feel the tips of my toes and my breath at the crown of my head.

It is not every day that my entire being is engulfed with such confidence in life. Parts of me reveal themselves and it feels like a kind of reunion of my entire self to wallow in this rare moment. You know when we all get excited to see a lunar eclipse in broad daylight?

It's that kind of spectacle to relish in. In 'A House Is Not a Home' by Luther Vandross, you know when he sings, 'Are you gonna be, say you're gonna be...' Yeah, that's what it feels like when the sky is blue. It simply plants a smile, the kind that creases the corners of my mouth and gradually, I grow a smile from my heart. You know that smile that is deeper than an expression? The kind you feel in the depths of your heart?

That's what it feels like when the sky is blue—

Refined bliss... Everything feels in sync with the kind of world I keep journaling about, I get a glimpse of what darker days are trying to teach me--

To always remain hopeful.

And so, I write and think to myself,

I appreciate being alive more

Read words between any page feels like a letter sent to me

I feel like I could hug every tree -and elephant alive- swim in the deepest parts of the ocean and I could do anything I have ever considered crazy I could do everything I neatly tucked to the corners of my mind I am hypersensitive to the world around and why does life look so beautiful?

I am filled with joy that I cannot begin to explain with words It overflows and all I can think of is how badly I want to share this with the world

How I wish everyone could have this out-of-body experience For the first time in my life, I lack the vocabulary to explain how life makes sense but I also do not know what part makes sense but something just fits the puzzle

Nature looks so precious

My life feels so precious ~Signs off with a smile.

All of a sudden, I'm filled with hope for humanity to conquer the darkest parts of life.

Rumi made sense when he said

The universe is not outside of you. Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.

These are the moments when some words make sense and for once it sinks in that it is okay to be okay, to be happy, and that we should always be. That it should be normalized to be joyful and cheerful.

To be grateful for being alive and experiencing such beautiful things in my lifetime. For existing in the here and now. For remembering how to breathe and enjoy the intimate parts of life. Moral of the story?

Listen to Luther Vandross- A House is not a Home! XD Jk!

Allow yourself to receive from the deepest parts of you.

Nothing but cocoa love,

Sam 🌼
