“…you feel that you are always in a state of waiting, expecting some event, not on the outside, but inside you, in your guts.”

Adonis, from The Book of Siege; Candlelight. Trans. Khaled Mattawa.

You have to start noticing things. The direction of the rays of sunshine, how it touches and warms your skin; the sway of a leaf in a mild breeze; the simple beauty of the flowers; the strong smell of your morning coffee; the wind in your hair and on your face; the liveliness of the city; the calm of your soul. You have to start noticing this and start living for it.
