Taking a moment

In this time of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder that many of us have been unaware of, how many take a moment to look at the moon and meditate on it? Enjoy a sunrise? Melt into a sunset? That’s just a few examples.

Always in a rush to get somewhere and get something done so we can waste our time looking at the magical gadget that has taken over our lives and minds.

The meditation of cooking a meal. The thoughts and memories it ignites. The desire of cutting and preparing food and the knowledge of the spices you embrace. Then eating, tasting and enjoying every bite.

That moment when all things unite to bring an elation. A breeze, a smell, a sound a feeling, a breath of serenity. Slow down and seize the moment by taking a moment and reap the benefits of it.

  1. Funny your write this, I just started a challenge in my group about paying attention to life. Each day is an exploration of each of the senses. I loved the idea of being present with each sense and seeing how it can expand your vision of your life. It is a missing ingredient to our busy and distracted lives. Seeing each moment as a gift and being in that experience fully to really BE in your life. Thanks for sharing.
