Staying Awake
The birdsong is late this morning. A turn in the seasons as I hear the tree cicadas' gentle hum. As the birds wake up, my attention is peaked. I wonder, how many birds play in this morning symphony? Where every voice, every chirp is part of the melody.

Widening My Circle
Whenever I travel, I feel like my heart and mind expand. My circle of inclusivity widens, my curiosity grows. I want to see the world and I also want to see it through the eyes of those who live in a particular place.
