If you have time

If you have time to watch your T.V.,
to browse Facebook,
to spend time in front of the mirror every morning,
then you have time to go outside.

Silence your phone.
Netflix can wait, but you should not.

Go outside.
Soak up the sun, or the rain,
whichever your environment has to offer.
Hear the birds, the song sparrows will sing you their praise.
The wildflowers will remain open, their faces cupped towards the sky, for only so long.
Catch them in action.

Shamelessly watch the birds and the bees pollinate to populate.
The porn you'll find out of doors is kinkier, and of much higher definition than what you'll ever find online.
Maybe even invest in binoculars...

It doesn't take long to remind you, ten minutes will do,
that the world wide web of life has so much to offer.
Go outside.
Connect.
