Today dawned overcast, cloudy, windy, rainy, a perfect day for some to say under the covers and read. For me, after meditation and reading this morning, I looked out the front window and was rewarded with sights of Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds and more.
This just reinforces for me how great it is to be ‘in the moment’ and paying attention. These beautiful gems were actually raindrops hanging on the power wire outside my house. The sun was trying feverishly to peak through the clouds, the wind was blowing, making the raindrops dance and jiggle, giggling in the air. It was this giggling, jiggling dance that reflected the sunlight like prisms, creating the most wonderful refracted colors for my eyes to see.
Now this was a short-lived, wonderful event that I had the privilege to witness. It is now embedded into my brain, in my memory and gives me light, lifting joy whenever I recall the images. I couldn’t even take my eyes away to run get a camera and go out to capture the picture. Although I doubt the photographic image could have truly captured the reality of the event. Join with me today in living this day with gusto, appreciation, gratitude, love and awareness.
