"Look at a tree, a flower, a plant.
Let your awareness rest upon it.
How still it is, how deeply rooted in being.
Allow nature to teach you stillness.
Everything natural ~ every flower, tree, and animal ~ has important lessons to teach us if we would only
Stop, Look, and Listen.
Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and bring you into the present moment,
which is where the animal lives all the time ~
Surrender to life.
It's so wonderful to watch an animal,
because an animal has no opinion about itself.
It IS.
That is why the dog is so joyful.
and why the cat purrs."
