I Often Wonder ...

That is my thought for the day “I Often Wonder”. I just completed my second round of the day and saw the sun shining though the narrow cell windows and I wondered to myself what was that peculiar feeling I was feeling? I had to think and wonder for a moment until I finally figured it out. Remembering and thinking that there are lessons and teachers in everything we do, it came to me, I needed time in my day to "just wonder", to just experience, and to just be in the moment. Not necessarily here but, somewhere, maybe even in nature, I needed a time to smell the roses and hear the birds chirp, feel the sun warm may face as it rises above the horizon. I do miss those moments that I feel primarily during hunting season and wonder why I didn't do it year round. Life has a way of easily distracting us, although nature has a way of reminding us of being in the moment, most often in the simplest of ways. A breath of fresh air, a hint of sunshine, the caw of a crow, the perch of a hawk watching over a field, the effortless gliding of a Turkey Vulture on the warm air currents flowing above the earths surface. There are so many ways that I am reminded daily that the moment is calling me.

Clearing the mind and the absence of thought is represented in all of nature and maybe, that is what I am missing. Winter brings a drought, a drought of nature, although in past mindless meanderings I have been reminded that nature is still alive even though it appears to be dormant, just one more lesson. All this thought just makes me wonder … so off I am going to wonder …


Hmmm it feels good to just relax and meld into the moment, I should do this more often …

I often wonder …

Peace be with you all
