Moments of awe

Those moments when we completely lose our sense of self, this sense of I seperate to the whole.
Those moments where we connect with something larger,
a sense of ease,
a sense of peace.

Perhaps immersed in nature listening to the sound of birds,
enjoying a good meal,
being creative,
having a bath,
an intimate moment with a loved one,
the list goes on..

There are so many tools for BEing.

Isn't this something we all strive for?
that sense of connection,
that sense of belonging,
that sense of ease.

We get so busy sometimes, caught up in the neverending todo lists we create for ourselves.
Do Do Do, there will always be more to do, if there isn't we will find something.
We enjoy being productive, achieving, creating, whatever it is..
and there is nothing wrong with that.

Yet the value of BEing and enjoying the moment is worth so much, sometimes we forget.
It's nurturing,
a form of meditation even.
It feeds the soul,
a sense of satisfaction.

So what is it that stands in our way of BEing?
with connecting with ourselves.
Enjoying life,
taking it easy.

It's ok not to be busy all the time,
it's ok to take time off,
it's ok to enjoy yourself a little.

So how can we incorporate more of this BEing time,
these spaces of peace and ease?

Perhaps it starts with simply giving ourselves permission,
even just for 15 minutes,
15 minutes of your day
is nothing.
15 minutes to BE.
to FEEL.
to EXPERIENCE.

Life is for living,
and it goes so fast,
and in the end we all die.

So why not BE?
why not appreciate, the moment?

"Time you enjoyed wasting, is not wasted time."
