gave me a reason to take notes.
frantically scribbling down every
beautiful moment
profound quote
eye-opening realization
fleeting quandary
& occasional bar.
in this process of perpetual documentation,
i feared that i was getting distracted from the present -
not taking time to enjoy the happenings around me,
focusing too much on capturing everything and not enough on just experiencing.
upon further reflection, what i learned was quite contrary.
i realized that i was actually taking in more.
experiencing things the same but affording myself the opportunity to really process,
thus affording myself the process of discernment. i was actively listening to and, key word, retaining,
what an event or person or the world was communicating. i was so much more mindful so much more present
and so much more capable of referencing reflecting and appreciating the beautiful moments
the profound quotes
the eye-opening realizations
fleeting quandaries
and occasional bars.
by writing
i was giving the thoughts of my choice
just a bit more substance
solidity
and power.
i was allowing myself to experience my world
just a bit more fully. i was connecting with myself just a bit more wholly.
