Food For Thought: Moment to Moment

I like to think that life is a grand adventure, for we have opportunities all the time, to make the ordinary moments in our lives extraordinary. Much of what occurs in our lives and how we react to it is based on our finite view of each moment in the now as it occurs.

This is not to say there are times when we cannot take ourselves out of tough circumstances, this is to say, we can put more reverence into the ordinary moments and find the grace of adventure in a simple trip to the grocery store.

Ask yourself this… What do I see along the road that is unique and different? Has the landscape or cityscape changed? Because, nothing ever stays the same and no one is truly trapped in a tangled mess that they cannot wrest free from.

The sky is different from moment to moment. The colors of the landscape change with the seasons.

There are people and animals in your purview of this moment, that may not be there in the next. Slow down, take the time to observe the tings around you. Live in the moment. Be in the now and start to experience life as a grand adventure by taking in the astounding grace that is all around you every day.

Namaste… Pamela
