"Often the best moments of our lives arise within the pauses
between our endless hurrying.
Slow down.
Enjoy your coffee for-here.
Eat sitting down.
Don’t text and walk or drive.
Just text fully.
Communicate fully.
Eat fully.
Be fully.
Live fully.
Love fully.
Feel fully.
Presence is just one pause away.
Multitasking takes us away from the magic of this moment.
Breathe.
Smile.
Cry.
Connect.
It’s never too late to fall in love with your life."
~ Waylon H. Lewis
These past months in Africa were just amazing. I’ve spent 5 weeks in CapeTown and am already on my way to the next destination. For this time I will leave Africa for another continent, but I’ll be back soon. I promise 🤞🏼🥹 I just wanted to let you know that even though I’m already on my next trip I’m gonna do some stories of the last weeks. I kinda forgot and didn’t want to post since the time I’ve spent here was so special. Appreciation post is still coming, but for now its just a quick come back post with this cutie I met In Uganda. 🤪🤞🏼✨ #murchisonfalls #visituganda #wildandwonderful #nile #nil #naturephotography #travelafrica #instaafrica #fifty_shades_of_nature #biosferaitinerari #murchisonfallsnationalpark #uganda #safari #wildfrontiersuganda #africanwildlife #uganda🇺🇬 #ugandalife #exploreuganda #magicaluganda #ugandatravel #ugandatourism #ugandalove #eastafrica #elefant #elephantlove #elephantlover #elephantlovers #elephantjournal (hier: Uganda, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CorYGkZuYcZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Elephant Jungle Sanctuary Chiang Mai @thailand . It was a wonderful day spent learning about elephants and then feeding, bathing, and cleaning these majestic animals. It was lovely to see how the workers at the sanctuary interacted with the elephants; it is obvious that they receive excellent care, and there is evident respect among everyone there. . . . . . . @elephante @elephantjunglesanctuary @elephantjournal @elephantsanctuarythailand #elephant #elephantsantuary #elephantlovers #elephantinchiangmai #elephantsanctuaryphuket #elephantsanctuarythailand #thailandtravel #thailand🇹🇭 #thailanddiaries #exploremore #explorethailand #elephantexperience #elephantmudfun🌞🐘 #elephantlove #elephantvlog #elephantbaby #minivlog #bhattifaizan #adayinthailand #thailandseries (at Elephant Sanctuary thailand) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn2fVPIrjwp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Treatment for Lakshmi 💊🐘 • Today Ruwan and Lakshmi's mahout Nuwan gave Lakshmi a special type of eye drops as she was showing signs of cataract! • Cataract is a medical condition in which the lens of the eye becomes white/ blurry, which causes a blurry vision or can even cause blindness when not treated properly. • Cataract is a common issue caused by age. It is not easy to be cured but they are very treatable with the appropriate medicines. • Get well soon Lakshmi ❤ • #srilankanature #visitsrilanka #exploresrilanka #sosrilanka #wonderofasia #elephanta #elephantorphanage #elephantjournal #elephantvoices #loveelephants #walkwithelephants #elephantwalkexperience #wildlife #wildlifetour #wildlifesrilanka #wildlifeaddict #volunteerabroad #globalvolunteer #elephanttrunk #happy #amazing #repost #smile #igdaily #jj #ilu #likeme #animalsofinstagram #animallovers #petsagram (at Sri Lanka) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLdvfz8hKta/?igshid=w56ype68z8sl
Out of apprehension. Out of monotony
Out of walking in circles on a straight road
Because you need to do something
But there is nothing to do.
Poetry comes out of the frantic mind
That can only be settled
By the daunting maze of language
Which when properly arranged together
Could level the intelligence of humans.
Poetry comes out of that fleeting glance
From the eyes of the man you love
Who has never loved you
That leaves you wondering, dreaming and hoping
And always crushed & crumbled in the end.
Poetry comes out of loneliness
In the presence of your dear friends
When even the closest of faces
Seem nothing more than an apparition
Come haunting from a vintage photograph.
Poetry comes out of the pitter patter of rain drops
Carried through an open evening window
On a breeze that brings with it
The memories impossible to evade
And the frigidness of an impending winter.
Poetry comes out of banal things.
Out of broken hearts and despondent loves,
Out of full ashtrays and empty bottles,
Out of murky and thunderous nights,
When the rain bombards the rooftops.
Poetry comes out of affection and out of abomination
Out of rapture as much as melancholy
Out of enigma by dark and awe by day
But above all, poetry comes out of life,
And thus, the poet must be left to his own with death.
