O' beautiful morning! It is a gift to be carried away by the beauty and grace of birds in flight and the spontaneous joy in their songs. In that moment we realize that it has been so long since we had this experience, though the conditions may have been the same nearly every day. We were simply not present enough to notice. The thoughts, fears, desires and anxiety we carry with us in our mind, keep us from experiencing fully what is happening in the present moment.
It is not difficult to make a habit of stopping regularly to notice the beauty that comes into our lives every day in our ordinary experience. This is a simple, easy discipline. Yet, taking notice of these “ordinary” moments can help us build an extraordinary life.
