Hours speed up, days fly by, months collapse into the next. Years disappear before our eyes, until we wake up. The best moments seem to keep our memories captive as we attempt to hold on to them, yet these too become distant in our mind’s eye, now nostalgic. What was once so important fades to grey and the realization of being present is all that remains. It’s all that really is. It is in these moments that I cherish those whom I spend my time with, knowing full well we truly never know how many breaths we have. These are the most precious, especially in nature, where a falling leaf dancing with the wind, the lapping seashore and crisp air of a mid-winters day, bring much delight to the experience of just being. Being present and so grateful that knowing to take pause, truly feeds the soul. No matter where I go, it is one of my favourite things to do that fill the well of inspiration.
