A cool morning breeze flows in through the balcony door.

A new day has arrived.

The birds are chirping outside, two long-tailed birds chase each other on the roof while everyone else is still asleep.

The mountains are painted with the new sunlight.

It’s early, but I don’t want to sleep anymore; there are too many wonderful things waiting for me out there.

I want to wake up before the sun, to see the mountains casting shadows against the early sky, to feel the cool breezes. 
I want to hear the chirping of the little sparrows, the cawing of the mischievous long-tailed birds, the morning train carrying people into the new day.  
I want to drink water with the thirsty trees, admiring the delicate yet vibrant leaves reaching for the sky.  
I want to plunge my hands into the soft earth, making my hands dirty and sowing the seeds of hope.

Every morning I wake up and sow seeds; some days I sow seeds of gratitude, some days seeds of harmony, other days seeds of happiness or health, sometimes seeds of peace or abundance… I have many seeds, and the earth will nurture and embrace my seeds, the rain will nourish my seeds, I just need to sow.

Every day, countless wonders are waiting for me; I just need to open my heart, just need to let my thoughts wander, and then I play, play with everything that comes to me throughout the day. Sometimes it’s the breeze as I ride my bike on the street, sometimes it’s the water from the tap when I wash my hands, sometimes it’s the edge of the boat as I lie down to feel close to the water, sometimes it’s with the new leaves sprouting from the old, rugged trunk, sometimes it’s with the ducklings waddling after their mother.

But the time I play the most is when I meet someone, anyone. I want to play magic, transforming serious faces into bright ones, turning contemplative eyes into laughter, changing introversion into openness, and turning calculation into love.

Oh, and I also love diving into books; those letters everywhere look the same, but they carry so many wonderful things I haven’t yet discovered. Every time I dive into a book, I get to fly to new lands.

That’s how my day is, filled with sounds, colors, hugs, and laughter.

I am happy to be born in this world.
