The other evening, as I stepped out of my home to take a jog, I noticed a beautiful sunset through the corner of my eye. It wasn’t just any sunset – there was a radiance of bright, orange hues illuminating the sky, and the sun appeared unbelievably large with a wavey outline over the horizon. It was as though it was just sitting on the grassy area behind the trees. I was only able to catch glimpses of the rays from where I stood, so I turned toward it and walked closer. I had to cross a busy intersection and take a turn around the path to make it through the trees. When I got there, just a minute or two later, it was gone. The sun had set, and the sky immediately began to turn shades of pink and purple. I was still in awe of how beautiful it had looked and was happy I got to experience it for a brief moment.
How quickly moments pass us by. When we pause and appreciate the beauty of a moment, we drink the juice of life. Don’t be in such a rush. I tell myself this, often. Remember, to use the six senses we have (I consider “intuition” our sixth sense!). What can you sense from your ability to see, hear, smell, touch, taste, and feel in the moment?
Being present means showing up….as in NOW. It’s not about carrying around our heavy baggage from the past. It’s not about constantly lunging forward to the next best thing. It means NOW. Take a moment today to pause……savor the simple pleasures.
