Morro Bay

Your walk is uniquely your own.

The way each foot hits the ground, right then left or left then right.

Sometimes staccato or sometimes syncopated,

The notes of each measure always repeat.

Right hand left hand,

Bass clef and treble,

Your sound is uniquely your own.

Our voices can be flat or sharp,

Impassioned or infuriated the air released by practiced movements of the mouth move faster and louder.

We all perceive the world in a way that is only distinct to ourselves.

Stop and observe the nature of someone else's distinct walk.

Don't just listen but understand their sounds and why they make them.

Try to examine the world from their perspective.

And that my dear is living.
