“Smell the sea, and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly.” – Van Morrison
Sometimes a few words are enough to shift the way we see the day.
This lyric feels like summer distilled into a sentence, salt, sky, and the permission to breathe again. It’s a gentle nudge to get out of our heads and into the world, where the soul isn’t trapped in a to-do list but freed by a breeze.
I don’t always remember to be present, but when I do, it’s rarely in the middle of something important. It’s in those simple, sensory moments: toes in warm sand, a surprise song on the radio, a sunset that stops me mid-scroll. This quote reminds me that flight doesn’t have to mean escape, it can just mean expansion.
