What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menorise; Saturday Sayings

 

Stop.  Look.  Listen.



...but we forget to do it, don't we? 
Even when we know better. 
Even when it's what we have gone there to do...

It takes effort.  
It takes consciousness to stop (with intent),
to look (and see), 
to listen (with focus). 
It can be tiring to relax. 
It can exhaust to be present.

Practice builds stamina; makes perfect.  

It's worth the effort.

    Yes it does take patience and I have to constantly remind myself to slow down.. My Annie Ma had a favorite question when folks were in a rush. She asked, 'if they had medicine to take..if not slow down.'
    I hope your trip back to they Hutch was uneventful

    so true so true... especially the present can certainly exhaust which causes us to forget to do this. I wish for you for the next few weeks and the new year that you will be able to stop.look.listen.

    Oh Yamini, thanks so much for this...I have printed it out to display and look at it. It has been so hard to be "present" lately.

    Sending love and hugs to you and your siblings today, and wishes for a safe trip back to the hutch.

    I do stop. And then I am on the move again to find somewhere else to stop. Looking and listening may not necessaily happen in the same place.

    Beautiful view ... must be wonderful in sunnier warmer weather - but love the bench and looking out. I sincerely hope yesterday was peaceful and you are content in the quietude of being ... stay safe and with thoughts - Hilary

    In the moment
    a bird sings
    as butterflies dance.
