The plain simple experience of being present is a gift that nature offers to all. Often we walk out the door into the light but we remain in a windowless room inside our minds.
If we take but a moment to allow our senses to greet the earth and sky, and the creatures we share them with, we are transported. Paying attention to the air on our skin, the light, dewdrops in morning sun, we leave the imaginary world of past and future and enter the eternal moment of now, the only reality.
This is a simple gift, nothing glamorous. It is only a doorway, but it opens to the treasures of the universe.
