Ever wondered what matters to you on a daily basis? What do you notice everyday?

I Notice
I notice the carefree laughter of children; 
the purring of my cat
I notice the arrogance of my youth; 
the loneliness in the wrinkly eyes of old men and women
I notice the dreams in the eyes of the pizza delivery guy
I notice the seductive aroma of my morning coffee; the solitude in which I enjoy it
I notice the desperate, growing hunger for life in me;
I notice how my deceased father had the same hunger 
I notice the birds as they soar high in the sky with the first ray of sunshine;
I notice how we connect as I enjoy my morning drive to work 
I notice the golden rays of sunshine;
I notice my smile in the rear-view mirror of my car
I notice the beauty that my 9yo is;
I notice my worries for the dynamic persona that she will be
I notice unresolved trauma in my widowed mother;
I notice how I haven’t called her for four days
I notice how tired my man feels;
How he would love to take a break to breathe
I notice desires, I notice passion, I notice tears and longingness;
That of my own and of others
I notice my hypocrisy and that of others; the hypocrisy of my relationships
I notice how I haven’t forgiven my husband
I notice how he’s already forgiven me. 
I notice how beautiful it is to feel so strongly;
I notice what a curse it is. 

Inspired by Dancers with Disabilities show that I attended at New York University Abu Dhabi, last week. One of the performers read a poem “I notice” and it made me wonder what is it that I notice in my daily life. I loved the performer’s line “I notice desires, I notice passion” and I couldn’t part with it as it resonated with me deeply. I’ve included those words as is but everything else comes from me.
