recently
i have been smitten with the present moment
i have been smitten with the present moment
inspired by
wanting to know how to best care for my land
so i listen
to the breeze animating the trees
and
the beauty of flowers tilting their heads to the sun
(fairy slipper, Calypso orchid)
tiny fungus as they rise through the surface of the earth
in doing so
i have found myself in a deep quiet joy
that is what the present moment can inspire
deep quiet joy
and i thought (memories) of other moments in my life
that brought me present to:
deep quiet joy
my son falling asleep on my shoulder
the colors of the setting or rising sun
a kiss
where nothing else exists
the first sip of coffee in the morning
photographing ice crystals and snowflakes
creating art
dancing
and
dancing with a partner
(dancing with violets)
the list goes on
i love it when the past falls away
and the future is where it belongs.... in the future
and i am
completely absorbed
in now
i feel that is the best
experience of my 56 years of life
~
it seems the presence is in this moment and in my memories
so many memories!
