it’s amazing how happy you feel when walking through the forest, extending your awareness outside of yourself for a change, not focusing on my thoughts. you can hear leaves crunching, birds calling and hopping, deer browsing, and all the dust particles of millions of lives, from the entire universe to the tiniest bacteria. 

it’s a calm happiness, so different from any other kind of happiness i’ve felt, whether that be hanging out with good people, buying what i want, eating good food, being complimented, being in love, having everything fall right into place, having a good night out, achieving your life-long goal…

I can’t say I feel so happy I’m going to explode like when I’m extremely happy…the happiness in the forest is quieter, a sort of solid bubble that is still so very light and expands through my whole body and into the world, and all the while its presence isn’t very obvious.

dude.
