Unpondering the Pondering

Beth Blog 3 0

041 (2)

I can think of the “needs” I have, things done or should be done or a whole litany of thoughts. Or I can be still, aware, and present as both I and the moment are right now. Not always successful in the latter. But when I am, I am gifted a tiny leaf painted against the gray of dirt, twigs and rocks. Then the mind chimes back, “That is awesome, now how can I stay this way?” And off it goes trying to figure out how I can be present, mindful, still, and alive. It makes me laugh. I, the ever pondering hobbit, surrender. I would rather see a painted tiny leaf than to walk over, on, or around the gift….while I pondered the answer. Not to seek the answer. Accept the gift.
