Sometimes I simply
“sit” and think, and other times, I “lie” down and think. Either way, during my life, I have
spent a lot of time pondering what it all means. I have tried very hard not to make
judgments about choices I have made, or actions I have chosen, and yet, I often ponder what I have learned from it all.
There are so many
articles, songs, books, videos, and other mediums of sharing perspectives from
which to consider what life is all about. And yet, it seems the answers to my
pondering times generally leave me with even more questions. So for this moment, I am doing my very best
to simply observe what my eyes see, what scents fill that air, and what my skin
feels when the wind blows. There are so many other senses to use to observe
life, so many other “teachers” from which I can gain a deeper understanding of
life.
The humming birds
have returned to my area. I believe I will allow the sweetness of their
presence to teach me about simply being in the moment. How absolutely diverse
in color, markings, even the sound of their tiny wings are available to enjoy.
Surely there is something for me to notice that will help me understand what I
have missed with all the times I have spent “pondering!” Hmm, I don’t have to
“think” for a moment to know the answer to that one!
