Sonia Antosz: Being alive 

BEING ALIVE.

Hello, it’s me Amelia.I want you to feel now. Every single word written down here. FEEL.

Connection with nature.

Feel the wind tossing your hair. The sun light touching and warming your face. The raindrops soaking into your clean, bare skin. Walk barefoot. Feel the ground, black soil messing your toes. Run into the ocean, feel the water. Your hair is getting wet, heavy. Breathe. Feel all this air getting into your lungs. Feel that you are alive. You are fucking alive.

Listen, look at yourself.

Breathing, beating heart. Look at all those summer freckles, highlights on your hair, skin scares, red, purple, white… Look at all this cute dimples in your muscles, look how your skin can stretch, look at those little, growing hair.  Feel them. They are yours, these are you. Smile. Strong teeth, red lips. Wrinkles around eyes, mouth, nose. Wow, what a colors, what an amazing colors in your iris. What the heck. You can see now.

Animals- living creatures.

They are just like us. You were afraid of a bee. But let her sit on your hand. Those little arms, crystal wings, black and yellow stripes. Let her go, how smooth and peaceful. Play with pug, he’s jumping around you like a little, crazy kid. Look at this pink sweetheart- pig. Look up! Flying birds, living their life. The thing is- all these creatures don’t want nothing from us, but just letting us to be happy. So be the same, as living spirit to living spirit.

Food.

Crispy celery, sweet dates, smooth avocado, juicy peach, fresh greens. Nutrients. Giving your body energy, keeping your cells alive, letting you grow. Feel all those natural, beautiful goods. Plants. Give your body and mind what it wants. Every single time. Trust yourself.

Movement.

Run at the beach. Fall down on the sand. Roll yourself through the grass. Turn the music loud. Dance. Just jump, let your arms and legs go wherever they want. Lay down on the ground. What a chance.

Earth.

Orange, red, purple, pink, black. Sunset. Blue,white, pink clouds. Sunrise. Harsh, cold, mysterious- mountains. Then green, growing forest. Deep, crystal lake. Cold, refreshing water. Storm- lots of lights, scary sounds, big, powerful raindrops. Not ending ocean. Rainbow. Sounds of waves, grain in the wind, birds. FUCK. What a world. What a place to live for us. Holy shit, beautiful.

People.

Giving smile. Laugh. Crying. Silence. Pure love. Talking. Sharing place. Spreading message. Looking at everyone’s eyes. Touch. Creating. Friends. Partners. Loving people. Being together. Being lonely. Feelings. Just us, we can create a lot. We can feel a lot.

Freedom.

You are an unconditional creator. Thoughts. Art. Your mind is unstoppable. Feel free to make something new. Feel free to be you. Remember.

I want you to feel. You are always loved. Think, create, live, breathe. Love you.
