The magic in our
childhood wasn’t because we were kids.
It was
because we were living in the present.
Do we remember?
Running into our
house,
Chugging a
glass of cold drink faster than our mom could say: “Slow down”
Sticky hands,
bare feet, strains on our knees.
We didn’t
check the time.
We didn’t
track our steps.
we weren’t
doom-scrolling and comparing…
It wasn’t magical just because we were kid.
It was because we noticed life.
The good
news!
We didn’t lose
that part of us.
We just
stopped practicing.
So today, lets
just slow down:
Taste our
chai/ coffee
Look up at
the sky
Feel our
breath
Just to know
that magic is still here.
