Everything Zen. All in one place ;)

Weekend's here.

Sitting at the beach watching an amazing sunset. Enjoying a couple of drinks and reveling in the fact that the week is over and I can finally relax.

Sunsets are always calming to me. Also, if I'm at the beach (like this one in Waikiki), I find some entertainment in it as well.

Next time you're on a beach during this time at a pretty tourist- filled area, just watch. Look at everyone around you. They will all stop at the same time.

Everyone and their mom will have a camera.

Aimed at the sunset, they attempt to capture the soothing quality of its glow in a moment frozen in time.

Can't blame them for trying. I mean, who doesn't want to feel relaxed just by staring at a picture?

It's worth a thousand words, but sometimes all you need is a few:

Relax, smile, and enjoy the weekend.

Flowers outside the house.

It's always something about the way that flowers tend to make you think about emotions. I guess maybe it's their inherent beauty. Perhaps it's due to life experience; be it yours or the people around you. It tends to generate a calming soothing effect on some and hatred and spite in others. Some are hardly affected.

But you can't deny that it does stop them from thinking about their current thoughts. Though not completely. Think of flowers as interjecting an emotion in one's life and mind. To make you laugh, smile, cry, angry, or feel none of those at all.

But you felt something. Something.
