We overlook so many joys, so many hidden treasures, when we hurry from place to place, person to person, experience to experience, with little attention anywhere. All that matters passes before us now, at this moment. And assuredly, we will not pass this way again.
It has been said the greatest gift we can give one another is rapt attention; additionally, living life fully attentive to the breezes, the colors, the sorrows and the thrills as well, is the most prayerful response any of us can make in this life. Nothing more is asked of us. Nothing less is expected.
We have just this one life to live, and each day is a blessing. Even the trials we shall understand as blessings in the months, the years ahead, as we can see now how the painful moments of the past played their part. Our attitude toward the lessons life has offered makes all the difference in the world.
I will look closely at everything in my path today. The women and children, the trees and squirrels, the silent neighbors.... I will never see them again as I see them today. I will be at attention.

The circle is never the same. Something changes constantly. If we stop and pay attention, smell the roses, it is a much better place for sure. I agree with you, as usuual, my Fairy friends.
Have a great day, Mel.
Peace.

You never see the same river twice.
It's why I don't go anywhere without the camera : )
