The taste of first summer rain on your tongue
A song on the radio from a time left far away
The happiness of your dogs when you return home
A familiar scent reminding you of someone you once knew
The mountain roads shrouded by blue mist
The spray of the ocean on your face
The quiet corner on the terrace with a good book
The sweetness of mango juice dripping down your chin
The laughter of a child reflected in her eyes
The purr of a cat when you rub its belly
The wonder filled days of discovering new places
The quiet inner journey to find yourself.
Getting lost in the flow of creating art
Finding a kindred soul in an author’s words
The star strewn night promising of better days ahead
A smile from a stranger during a desolate time
Simple things have the power to restore us
Simple things make us believe once again
Simple things aren’t so ‘simple’ after all
When we see what a huge difference those can make.
(I read a poem with the same title by Ruskin Bond and wanted to write a poem of my own on this.)

Yes, it’s the experiences that we are consciously aware of that renew us, especially when we approach them with joy as you do.
