beautiful world

The other morning I went to Raleigh with my dad, and since it was a morning drive and I'm the queen of all copilots since I talk a lot and never sleep I tagged along. Gotta make sure he didn't drift off.

Since I am currently unemployed I have literally no fixed schedule really. I can do what I want when I want. Which can be really bad sometimes but anyways. But more often than not I wake up after like, 9 or 10 so rarely do I see a sunrise...and this was the first one I had seen in a long time and just watching it made my usual chatterbox self sit still and silently in awe...because the colors were stunning and the clouds were warm and inviting and looked like cotton candy and the colors ebbed and flowed until we got a perfect shade of what looked like that multi flavor sorbet that you see at the grocery store...

And then my dad started asking a million questions..

Why is the sun up at like, 5:45?

How does the earth literally spin?

How is it that trees flawlessly respond to the changes in sunlight while we humans go absolutely berserk and sometimes go into 'depression' over lack there of?

Isn't it funny that the sun we see now is the same one we share with the other 7 billion people on this planet? Why can't we do that with everything else?

(Yes, I know all these questions have scientific answers, but sometimes we just need to let ourselves marvel at things)

If we have a sun, that must mean there are a million other suns, and stars and moons and planets and galaxies and we're literally a speck (like the who's!) floating amidst this massive universe...

We live in such a beautiful world. Einstein I believe it was that said that the more he studied the universe the more he believed in a higher power...which is so true. That morning I couldn't help but just sit in complete awe and reverence of our creator...He is so powerful that He merely SPOKE and we get this beautiful world. He is the master artist and this is all but a tiny bit of a reflection of who He is which must mean He is so much greater and more beautiful than I could ever fathom... mind=blown...

Like why is everything the color that it is? Why aren't trees blue and skies green? A week ago I was running and I saw some wildflowers in the forest so I walked into the forest and everything there lives in this total perfect harmony...

Don't you love the beauty of everything when it rains? Trees look like they're covered in crystals, pavement shines like silver (Les Mis, yo), and the blanket of gray above makes everything so much cozier? I'm rain's biggest fan. Like right now. It is pouring outside and I wanna go run barefoot in it so badly but I'll refrain since its 1 am...

The oceans...when I think about the absolute massiveness of the oceans I have to stop thinking before I kinda start to lose it...isn't it crazy that there are depths we have yet to go? The oceans are always moving...they fill us with wonder while we stare from the shoreline but can destroy us with their power in the blink of an eye. And isn't it true that most of the world's animal species reside in the ocean? These are probably reasons why so many people write songs about the ocean...its so mysterious and that's cheesy but so true...

But from ocean depths we go to the heights of mountains...and you stand on top and look down and feel like you're a part of it all...living here in NC the Blue Ridge Parkway is where it's at..and theyre also so massive and remind me how small I am, like literally...

All of this is interconnected in perfect rhythms.....and my mind wants to explode thinking about the fact that the human race is lucky to experience life on such a beautiful planet....I'm done, gonna go hug a tree now cause why not.
