Treasure

Have you ever heard the expression, 'everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it?'

Or anything similar to that?

I think everyone has at least one thing that they just really like to hear, or see, or whatever else, even if they're not exactly sure why. They just like it. Some people like sunsets, or the smell of fresh bread, or the rain..... things like that.

It can be kinda hard to share these things with people sometimes though, cuz there are people who just don't see the beauty in the things you do. So it stays your secret. You have your own secret treasure.

But if you're like me, you would really like to share that treasure with someone else.

Here's some of the things I consider secret treasures......

.....Newly fallen snow underneath a full moon at night. When there's not a single footprint, and the gentle light from the moon touches the snow and lights up everything around you.

.....While we're on the subject of snow, next time the snow's coming down hard, think about the pounding sound of the pouring rain, and then open the door and listen to the silence of the pouring snow.

.....An empty stage. When you walk across an empty stage, you walk across countless stories that have taken place there. You walk across the thousands of thoughts, and dreams, and emotions every character has ever had, and that any actor has ever had as they performed. You walk across hundreds of different worlds and lifestyles that had been shown there.

.....Sounds. Maybe not every sound, but there are certain ones that I just really like. Like pencils scratching againsts paper, or flowing water......wind blowing through the leaves in the trees....the crisp sound of autumn leaves crunching beneath my feet........the clicking of the keys on a computer keyboard........things like that.

.....And how about laugher? I'm not talking about any laughter though- I'm talking about pure, real, innocent laughter. The kind that can't be muffled or held back...when someone just can't help but laugh. Its not as common as you would think.....

There are more, but that'll do for now. :3
