Last night I ate supper on the deck for the first time this season. The air was crisp but not cold. There were no bugs. As the light dimmed sounds increased. I could hear the geese and swans settling down for the night, a lullaby of nature. I was at peace. There was nothing pressing on me. I sat in the moment until night arrived and let all the different sights and sounds scrub my soul clean. I was peace.
I read a statement once that said "there are no days, only moments." Last night was one of those moments. There have been stresses in my life before, and they will come again, usually pretty quickly, but I just need to take the time to be in the present and experience peace and joy in a tangible way.
