I don't want to watch the news.
I want to watch the sunrise as it collides with the sky.
I want to watch how the birds gather for the day but do not worry about tomorrow.
I want to watch how rivers bend with determination to go where they are asked to go without stopping to ask why.
I don't want to watch the news.
I want to watch rainbows that remind me of a promise.
I want to watch curious, little squirrels as they balance themselves on fences like tightropes and nibble at sunflower seeds.
I want to watch dust float through the atmosphere and remember that we are merely delicate creatures with unstoppable souls.
I don't want to watch the news.
I want to watch humanity grow kinder. Hearts grow softer. Smiles grow bigger.
I want to watch people doing brave things like sharing their stories
and climbing their mountains.
I want to watch us love more than we judge and give more than we take and learn from our mistakes.
I don't want to watch the news.
I want to watch how beautiful it is to be still.
