What are you looking at: the forest or the trees?
Apr 08, 2021
We sometimes have moments when we do not appreciate the simple things all around us. Do you find yourself in that place sometimes? Either too busy or immersed in work or just not present. I found myself in that very circumstance walking on the beach a few days ago.
We sometimes have moments when we do not appreciate the simple things all around us. Do you find yourself in that place sometimes? Either too busy or immersed in work or just not present. I found myself in that very circumstance walking on the beach a few days ago. I was all consumed with my frenzied work day. For the life of me I could not see the forest through the trees... or in this case... the amazing blue waves and beige sand through my cluttered brain. I should have realized that even the boring beige sand... while not Bermuda pink... was uncluttered... five minutes from my house... fresh air... blue water... a brisk cool breeze... and an entire Southern California beach basically all to myself....
We humans are thinking creatures... and thinking is a double edge sword. It allows us to solve problems, fly to the moon and back, create the most amazing technology... but it also makes us worry about things that will never happen, imagine scenarios for our lives that are a personal equivalent to Godzilla's destroying Tokyo... that will never really occur... and so we go creating stress, worry and unease in our lives.... but when we realize that the actual reality of life is much simpler and harmonious and gentle on us, life becomes easier and better... like walking on the pink sand in Bermuda...
Have a peacefully fabulous day!
