My State of Mind



I can not believe it has been so many days since I last wrote.  It has not been because there have not been many Wonder Filled Moments because there have been.  It's just that I haven't felt like it.  It seems that time is escaping me in some way.  The energy of late seems to be quite intense, causing feelings of sadness without any reason to be sad.  Communication has not been easy either.  On a few occasions when I have responded in the affirmative to another they somehow heard something completely different and thought I was disagreeing with them.  It has been an interesting time and I am doing my best to be the observer of these situations and not get pulled into disagreements.  I trust that all is as it needs to be, whether I understand it or not. 
A Titmouse, like on the bush I speak of.

Yesterday, I took the time to just sit in our backyard and be.  We live below the airport mesa and there must have been a celebration going on as I heard an announcer and some good ole rock and roll music.  But I did not want to listen to rock and roll.  So I got my phone and put on some drum music and quietly enjoyed that.  Upon completion of the ten minute journey music I removed the headphones and found myself surrounded by numerous birds singing. 

The Raven of course caught my ear and then all of the little Titmice birds in the bush.  It was an amazing moment.  I watched them flutter between the branches and at one point there were two on the lowest branch just inches from the ground.  Then I noticed Kitty Chula, tail stiffly moving, eyes focused on the two birds.  They suddenly noticed her as well and moved onto a higher branch and then to the tree on the other side of the fence, as did many of the other Titmice that had occupied that bush.  It was a great moment and my Wonder Filled Moment of the day. 

In the chaos of the world at large may you too find time to just be and to notice for a moment the beauty all around you.
In Gratitude,
