WHAT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE AN ALIVE HUMAN BEING

​

• climbing into my car and the radio clicks on

• windows down, one hand out the window- wriggling fingers in the wind.

• walks alone

• walks with friends

• dancing in an empty parking lot at sunset

• singing. 

• being out of breath

• the “hot tea in your chest” feeling that lasts minutes after the last sip. 

• the first sip of the first cup of coffee of the day

• catching and chasing the sunrise

• embracing someone you love 

• scones and coffee

• driving South, West, anywhere but North

• two-armed hugs 

• finding an old song and remembering where you were and what you felt as you listened for the first time
