A Coloring Storybook of the Mind

Some days, it is absolutely impossible to overlook how beautiful life can be. We’ve been so completely absorbed in concentration, in detail, it is often easy enough to forget to come back down to the moment. This morning found me there. Letting go a little and clearing the mind. I’m sure that the sun breaking through for the first time in two weeks has much to do with putting the spring back in the step of my mind.

There are seemingly two modes of being for me, the viewing and the being. In the viewing stage, I feel almost on autopilot at all times. I am watching, listening, feeling little. I am generally unaffected by the things that happen around me as if I’m watching the movie of my life. In “being”, I am fully interactive and much more alive. I am. And my energy is with me. Today I “am”.

And now I ask… How often is it that I have that moment, that I get a chance to do what I’m doing with who I’m doing it with and then within the next thirty minutes find myself doings something completly differant. this new year is starting to take shape before me. but its like its losing all its color. the trees are white, and so is the ground and roads and bushes and everything else. but maybe thats the snow..

i could do with some crayons. i'd just love to color this world anew.

love,
n.
