this moment in time

im sitting outside in my back yard. what a wonderful space i have here. im under one of the old oaks in my swing. My little boy, pudge resting by my side. i can hear so many birds, they are all very happy and enjoying the day. i am curious as to what they are singing about. are they simply singing for the sake of singing or are they saying something to each other or perhaps even to me? it does not matter, what matters is this very moment in time.

one just landed next to my swing. it is very peaceful, i can tell. I dont think that they allow the bullshit that surrounds us to effect them the way most of us humans do, the way i have lately.

Ive been a bit edgy. lots of stress occurring and i have been allowing it to impact my thoughts. allowing my mind to fill with unessential worries and words. it is so odd how this can occur so quickly without us even being aware of it. it can take over if it is not monitored. allowing the mind to be at peace, honoring the moment, is a very difficult thing sometimes and yet, there is nothing more important in this short life.

being here, breathing in the fresh air, light breeze, listening to nature surrounding me brings me back to the here and now. its so strange that this is so easy to forget about. so easy to fill up ones consciousness with unnecessary thoughts.

im thankful for this moment in time, this peaceful setting and my inner bliss as a result.
namaste.
