Simply Breathing

Simply showing up.

Simply sitting silently in and among the tall grasses.

Simply observing the wonder and beauty of nature as it surrounds.

Simply seeing and hearing and smelling and tasting and feeling.

Simply breathing.

I love that you had the time to stop, and truly enjoy the simplicity of the moment. These days I feel life is a whirl of activity with little time to pause and savor such beautiful moments as this one, in your post. Thank you for making the stop for me :^) I enjoyed it and feel a little refreshed now.

Wonderful image. You inspire me to spend time photographing in my unmowed yard. Requires simply stopping!

After yesterday's Senate vote, Marcie, I have a feeling that's all most of us are doing: just breathing! Thankfully we can still do it! What a serene image to calm us down!

Just the words I needed to see/read before heading out the door. Such a beautifully defined spider. I read your daily practice along with my horoscope!
