I Think You Should

I think you should pick up the phone and call someone you love even if you are not sure the message will be received. I think you should stop falling asleep with the company of the television screen. I think you should lie on the kitchen floor and stare at the birds and planes out the window -- it's amazing how similar they look from that perspective. I think you should write all the things down that you love about people. I think you should draw the faces of your closest friends without looking at the paper. I think you should walk through town with a wheelbarrow full of your favourite books. I think you should dig a jagged trail in the snow. I think you should listen to your own breathing in public spaces. I think you should look people in the eye and take note of the space within not the space between their eyes. I think you should always be filled with wonder. I think you should paint the front door of your house your favourite colour. I think you should swing on a swing every night just as the darkness spreads across the sky. I think you should get a cat and call him Leonard. I think you should make your bed a different way each day. I think you should look through photographs of moments where you were not present and write one line down that reflects what each photograph means to you. I think you should listen to everything and be comfortable with silence. I think you should live each day like it is the first day.
