The ceaseless, rapid change of the ocean
The slow change of the hills
The swaying of long grass in the breeze
The stars in an outback sky
Gazing upon them empties my mind, and draws me out of my body
They set me free
The line of a leg, or a neck
The shape or colour of an eye
A glance, a facial expression
The curve of a waist, a back, breast, buttocks, or a smile
These invoke a desire that is beyond the physical
The playfulness of puppies, kittens and all baby animals
Watching as they discover their bodies, and how to use them
As they discover the world, and how to interact with it
Brings back the joy and wonder of youth
The sharing of food, drink, and laughter
Spending hours deep in conversation
Or relaxing in pleasurable silence
Make my life fuller
The way music echoes and amplifies emotions
Or how it can change them
From deep sadness to great joy, and everywhere between
The sound of a voice, an instrument, a single note, or a chord
The turn of phrase that enlightens or amuses, or both
They touch me in surprising ways
All these things remind me
That this moment
This perfect moment
Is all I need
