The quote I posted yesterday was one of the first things I read on mindfulness. I printed it out and put it on my bathroom mirror so that I could see it each morning. There it has been day after day, waiting to be a daily reminder and inspiration. Funny how over time things that are right in front of us can become invisible. After I posted Nature's Painting, I was ask about my commute to and from work. As I thought on what a blessing it is to have such a journey each day I realized that the challenge lies in remembering to notice it.Mindfulness is about using all our senses to fully experience our present moment. I think the challenge is to be aware of not only the new experiences, but to notice the details and textures in the everyday routine. What can we see, hear .... in this very moment that has always been there.
Loving your blog. Great pictures. You must be loving this too, a way to "express" your-self.
ReplyDeleteThis photo is really dreamy:) I like reading your thoughts about mindfulness....it is something I need to bring into my life.
ReplyDeleteI too am trying to cultivate my 'mindfulness muscle'...it's not easy, and sometimes life throws you a doozy and you feel like you're back at square one. I keep trying, though, it's a worthy goal (and a journey in and of itself). I really enjoyed your posts about your animal 'family', by the way (and the sky/water photos-lovely).
ReplyDeleteReally amazing photo, Maria... Thank you for visiting my blog and best regards from Poland! :-)
