I've been noticing lately the choices I've been making.  Not so much the big decisions about life.  Rather, the small, moment-by-moment choices – to stay attuned in my body, to see beauty, to connect appreciatively with what is.   Presence is such an attractive alternative to the imaginary stories and interior dramas that so automatically claim center stage.

 

       Here's something I posted a couple years ago that recently caught my attention.  Hope you don't mind the re-run. 

 

 

New Now

 

Feeling bored?

Life a bit stale?

 

Try opening

Eyes and ears

 

Skin and

Taste buds

 

To novelty

And mystery

 

In this moment

Unfolding now.

 

Ego ho-hums,

"Same old, same old."

 

Not true,

Not true.

 

Spacious hearts

And intimate eyes

 

Greet and treat

Each life-moment

 

As unlike

Any other.

 

Want aliveness?

Adventures new?

 

All yours –

Right now.
