Sitting in front of the gulf coast the other day with my husband when he suggested we try and follow a wave. Easier than it sounds. Frustration came quickly when I could not accomplish this seemingly simple request. Fortunately, picking a wave to follow, watching it continuously disappear and merge with other waves eventually became just watching the waves and a calmness began to wash over me. I began comparing this to a meditation practice and how it is so easy to get got up in accomplishing vs. just being no matter what arises. Nature is always offering lessons on life & how to be present. And it is the practices that ultimately lead to awareness. What are your daily practices that cultivate being in the present moment?
