Remain in the present.  Be still.  Awaken your senses and fully experience the world around you.
Yes, it's good advice.  But isn't it also a little overwhelming?
Maybe moderation is key.  Halfway between zen and reality?
I do enjoy drifting in and out of those peaceful moments.  I love observing my son's joy and curiosity.  I live for good hikes, nature, sunshine.  The pretty things, art, design.
Then sometimes it's as if I fail to recognize these wonderful things.  Too many cloudy days, and I feel ruined.
Give me back my sun, my soil, some water -- river or ocean -- and I'm me again.
My hope is to stay strong, through any kind of weather.  I can always find the light, even in the distance.  I just need to slow down, breathe, and search again.
