I’m always on a search for those magical, mystical moments that bring a freshness and newness to life. Being present, graced by the beauty of peace, these simple seconds of time can enrich my spirit immeasurably.
Like savoring the colors in the sky so very early before the sun begins to rise and as it does, treasuring the beautiful canvas that unfolds, a unique masterpiece of pastel art splashed across the sky, disappearing until the next one. Or relishing the smell of rain after a heavy shower and the fog that may linger before the sky starts to clear, allowing bright rays to peek out from the clouds. The serene calmness of deeply inhaling the smell of fall leaves on a warm autumn day as rays of heated sun beams bathe the face and body. Ahhh.. making the first tracks in the quietness of a winter snow fall. Finding internal peace during meditation. I also find the magical feeling of peace and balance during acupuncture.
Whether it’s a sight, a sound, a smell, or just another sensation, those magical, mystical moments can offer an inspiring and joyful awareness. Despite the static and franticness of day-to-day life, remember to put down your phone, disconnect from your mundane stress, and be present in the simple beauty of all of our lives.
