And - I'm walking.
And - I'm thinking.
And - I'm wanting nothing other than to turn off the noise....the constant chatter....the voices inside my head that are sometimes my worst enemies..and oftentimes - my best friends.
In one breath - they're reminding me to stay focused on this task at hand. To take the time I need to re-visit...re-assess...and re-organize this space of mine. In the next - it's reminding me of this practice..and my daily habit.
How can I not stop and look and see? How can I not savor this opportunity to listen...to feel...to connect with all that surrounds?
The air is heavy and wet. The sky is foggy. A layer of thin and slippery ice has begun to form...reminding me that winter is upon us.
From a distance - I hear the sound of distant geese. I look up. I see nothing. I look down- and there they are - reflecting back at me.
And - I'm walking.
And - I'm thinking.
And - I'm finding comfort in those voices and that noise. For without them - I would have missed it. This gift...this scene...this feeling and this moment. It will never happen in quite this way ever. Again.
Forever grateful for this practice.
