Real Life

If you watch the people walking by

You will sometimes recognize their eyes

looking at their  feet, with their head bowed to the ground.

This, I mean literally and symbolically.

Some will literally walk with their heads down, and some with their heads held high-but they are not really looking at the moon lit sky.Maybe they are thinking about the cars they wish to drive, or possibly the next cell phone they want to buy.

Even those with their head bowed to the ground...     

they are not staring at their feet because they treasure every step they take, rather they are ashamed of the so-called "mistakes" they wish they didn't make. 

Sadly, many things in life are misunderstood-only to those who choose to live with their eyes closed.

If you are one of them, then to you :

a tree is just a tree, I am not like you and you are nothing like me, the sun is so far away that you forget its there, everything goes wrong because the world just does not care. 

I can continue on and point to the obvious on how living that way is living blindly , but i will not.

No one can convince you- its up to you to open your eyes.

and once you do... 

there is a very special gift waiting there.

This gift is 

REAL LIFE!
