I Believe...

I believe that being barefoot is a wonderfully simple way of connecting with nature. I believe in taking naps on the grass with the sun as my blanket. I believe in the goodness of all mankind. I believe in spirituality. I believe in peace and serenity. I believe in karma. I believe we must strive to relinquish our desires, for they are the sole causes of our unhappiness. I believe that laughter is essential for our well being. I believe that we are who we choose to be. I believe in the moon and the stars. I believe in traveling for it not only broadens our minds, but makes us more appreciative. I believe in love but not hate. I believe in cat stevens. I believe that everything happens for a reason, there is no such thing as a coincidence. I believe in friendship. I believe in the seasons, especially when the leaves are falling or flowers are blooming. I believe that even though smiles are simple, they can work wonders. I believe in skipping rocks across a perfectly calm creek. I believe in nap time, and that kids should appreciate it while they still can. I believe in playing Ultimate Frisbee on a crisp sunny afternoon. I believe in never going to bed angry. I believe that happiness is not found in having what you want, but wanting what you have.

I like the way you said that people should go barefoot to believe in nature. I, myself, love nature, and I hope human kind doesn't destroy it sooner or later.

Being barefoot is more comfortable (and healthier) than wearing shoes. Even Nike noticed that recently when it launched its Free shoe. I agree that laughter is great medicine. And nothing broadens your mind and perspective on things like travel.

I also believe in Ultimate Frisbee, it's such a fun game. Your last line is perfectly put.

I couldn't agree with you more that everything happens for a reason. There really are no coincidences. It is fate kind of but I do not like to say that because most people think that is silly.
