I was feeling tired, achy and walking Maggie was a chore this morning. On impulse I lay down on the road and looked up, through the gum branches and on at the blue sky. Amazingly I relaxed straight away. Maggie checked on my condition, licking me on my face and then sat down next to me. We were quiet and alone.
Recharged I continued our walk.
We need more moments, stopping to feel the sun on our faces, the breeze brushing across our skin and for clearing the mind. There's too much emphasis on moving faster, doing more and madly rushing around. It's time to slow down to appreciate life, what is around us and what we have. Animals live each day in the moment maybe we should more too!
