Simple presence

bird branches 4

Moments of natural meditation are happening to us all the time. We pause at a stop sign while driving or taking a walk, just for a moment, preoccupations of that important meeting tomorrow or memories of yesterday’s flood of emails fall away. We are simply there, noticing other walkers and drivers, cars and sunlight, clouds and trees.  A dog barks, and in the distance we hear a siren. For a  fleeting moment we have a more intense experience of simple presence.
