Helping others become even better versions of themselves
The sky clears
Lights twinkle in the city
The traffic creeps by
The people rush to
Who knows where
The people don’t notice
Stuck in their heads
Thinking about their world
What’s happening outside
They do not notice
Not seeing the passing river
Not noticing that it’s all
Just reflections in a river
When we step away from everything and take a moment to pause, we realise just how much we miss on a day-to-day basis stuck in front of our screens, whether it’s our Mac or our smartphone, we are consumed by digital images, text and videos. We are adrift in an artificial world that is a simple extension of our own egoic mind, often seeking what we think we don’t have to be happy.
Take a moment by the lake, the sea, a river, in a park, in the garden, sit in front of the fire. Just listen, notice our breathing, notice smells, listen for sounds in the background. That background that contains the world, the real present moment world, is there always, it’s that we do not notice it.
Sitting by the fire is good for the soul, good for realising that life is a conscious moment now, that lasts forever. When we appreciate now our suffering subsides and our joy and peacefulness grows.
