Step outside

What if you were to set your phone aside; 

To disconnect from all that clutter of information 

 And step outside; to find a place 

 Where you might breathe 

The scents of growth and decay; 

Of stability that lasts more than a lifetime; 

Of fragility that nourishes, 

Even as it dies; 

Of rigidity that learns to bend to survive; 

And therein rediscover 

Your own ability to endure: 

 To learn, to grow, and utilize 

Each challenge that you face 

As an opportunity to drink anew 

From the infinite well of resources within you.
