I Don’t Know why we prefer the easy way.
I do know, the view is grander from high than low.
I am enjoying the taste of a banana.

I am enjoying the feeling of a 100% cashmere scarf.

I Don’t Know why we catch so many bad waves.
I do know, we cannot learn to distinguish a “close out” from “cranking” while we’re trying to create our own.
I am enjoying the nearness of my faithful old dog.

I Don’t Know why we are often running ahead of ourselves.
I do know, it is better to be resting together than to be running ahead.
I am enjoying the sound of others doing.

I Don’t Know why we hate waiting.
I do know, waiting for whatever will be is to begin to know Now.
I am enjoying working in silence.
