Smile at the sky
January 19, 2008 by mahima
STOP
what you are doing and slow down for a minute.
Put down the mobile phone, stop the power walk; shift into a slow, comfortable amble and a deep, long breath.
Tilt your face away from the book, the screen, the floor and throw your head back to face the sky.
Look at its enormous blue. Grey. Black. Twinkle. Breathe it in. Wherever you are, there is a sky above you. Look up. I cannot say this enough-
L.O.O.K. U.P.
There is a kind of kindness that can only exist in a heart that smiles at the sky.
Glasgow, Caffe Nero
Watching the world go by. Heads down, walking fast, in a hurry to get somewhere; always in a hurry to get someplace other than where you are. Not enough time spend looking at the sky, into children’s eyes, listening to heartbeats.
P.S. WordPress is a royal pain in the arse for not letting me put a paragraph spacing before Glasgow, Caffe Nero. So know it’s there…and for not letting me change the font size of bits of the sentence. Blogger allows so much for flexibility! GRRR
I smiled at the Sun today. It was warm, like Spring. The sky was quite beautiful too, but I was partial to the sun today…
in glasgow, j, there is no sun at sunrise.
you lucky girl!!
Hey, Mahima! You’re going on my blogroll…
Good read! (Visiting from Mitzh’s blog.)
Sorry about no sun at sunshine.
And about WordPress, too.)
If anything, I hope it isn’t as cold there as where I am now.
I ran through the rain with my face lifted up towards the sky and my heart felt like it was exploding into joy.
Lovely post, as always
Also, I have the pleasure and the privilege to give you the “You Make My Day” award ( which was recently given to me!!)

When I’m really down, I look up.
It is true that once you look up, breathe deeply, you will without a doubt feel uplifted…
What a strange co-incidence. While walking into to work today that’s exactly what I was doing. Looking up at the blue blue sky….. its amazing how the simplest things provide the most joy.
oye!
why did you switch over to wordpress. I knew that wasnt the smartest move. Anyway, smiling,
