Diary Of An Orchid Hunter

I picked up a discarded newspaper on a bench in the station today.
an article about a man.
this man gave up his life. his job, his home, his money, his friends.
he moved from Australia to a small village in the Philippians.
he did so in order to explore the rainforest in search of beautiful orchids.
its funny how poetic a mans life can be.
this man gave up everything in order to admire the beauty of a flower.
how simple.
how peaceful.
how beautiful it must be to live a life of nothing but the clothes on your back,
a few dollars from an early retirement fund, and the simplistic beauty of a flower.
what i wouldn't give, to give everything.
leave it all behind. all of it. the worrys, the tears, the nights spent dwelling on the days past, dreading the days to come.
and instead, wake up. look around and feel no stress. live life based on the one source of beauty i need.
you.
