My time off turned out to spur the longest ever list of ‘Evers….’

Ever lay in bed at night and felt the mist float and hang over you…
Ever looked at the sky and known for certain that tonight there will be a million stars that I will see…
Ever felt the warmth of another hand when you’re terribly cold… and felt the wonder of life in that moment…
Ever felt a strawberry’s flavors make your senses reel…
Ever saw so much beauty around you that you can’t get yourself to sketch anything…
Ever swayed with every curve that the car takes on a mountain…
Ever walked so much that your feet don’t need your mind anymore… they just won’t stop…
Ever saw the magic in a butterfly’s flight…
Ever stuck you face out of a moving car and discovered why your dog loves doing that : )
Ever fell off a swing… got hurt… but could not stop laughing!!
Ever found that strangers can care about strangers…
Ever wished in a tunnel…
Ever tried to wipe out an entire field of strawberries… : ) it’s a satisfying feeling…
Ever felt stupid and felt real good about it and then felt stupid for feeling that…
Ever found that trees tell a story just by the way they look…
Ever felt like starting your own little hotel and then actually drawing up a plan of what you would do!!
Ever switched off your phone for 3 whole days and not cared…
Ever felt that the mind can forget easily… and yet it can’t forget easily…
Ever felt your heart flip flop… and loved that feeling…
Ever felt that you will hold on to the small gestures forever…
Ever saw a colour and felt that there is no way in hell you could ever replicate that in a painting…
Ever realized that there were just too many people who you let slip away from you too easily…
Ever realized that there is sometimes something like ‘too late’…
Ever longed for one of those childhood friendships… in all their simplicity yet seeped in a 7 year old’s complexities…
Ever longed for those crazy intense childhood conversations… the kiddiness giddiness of it all…
Ever felt simple yoga stretch make every muscle in you twitch to life…
Ever saw a flower spiraling down…
Ever shut your eyes and tried to hear every sound of the night and felt your senses unable to cope…
Ever felt sometimes words spoil it… bring in the confusion and the hurt…

Ever felt that ‘ever felts’ are exactly what they are and not meant to be described briefly and hastily in a jumble of words that don’t justify how they ever felt…
