Beloved,
What contrast we have been experiencing lately. It is showing up everywhere including our politics. This is all an experience helping us to live in the moment as each moment is different so nothing stays status quo. It awakens us from our slumber of just putting one foot in front of the other so that we consciously are aware of what is in front of us right now.
The last three days have been balmy and in the 60’s. While I thoroughly enjoy the warmer weather, I could not help but feel sad that my kayak was put away for the winter. The wind and the water were perfect for a jaunt around the lake and when I am kayaking, I thoroughly immerse myself in each stroke and watching the shoreline with all the different houses and how different they all are as they enjoy being on the water and the effect of the lake upon them. I know I need reminders to be more in the present and enjoy what is now as it will change. And you know, we humans do not like change.
This morning I woke up to a Winter Wonderland. The Artic Freeze hit last night with rain and snow. My wish when it snows is that it would only snow on the trees and the grass, leaving the streets and driveways clear so we do not have to shovel. That is exactly what happened. The snow is soft and fluffy, it looks like cotton balls have been strewn everywhere. On the grass, it is not smooth, it looks like batting, not smooth but bumpy as it emphasizes the individual puff of snow. My street and driveway were perfectly free of snow as it had melted upon landing.
I had my breakfast looking out my bow window at the marvelous display that Mother Nature had put out for us to enjoy. Whereas yesterday everything was brown; the leaves were now gone and the plants were brown and the grass less green as we have had a frost.. Although warm it looked like a desert with nothing much alive. NOW, each brown leafless branch was covered with soft fluffy snow. Looking out at the mountain range across the lake was astounding. It was all white and as the sun came up; it created shadows yet also highlighted areas with its light played upon the snow. It was so beautiful to behold this with the water moving in the lake and the shadows playing with the sun creating different scenarios right before my eyes. The beach looked so different with thebrown sand having no snow and the grass was white, what a contrast. This is not something you see very often. I was being so grateful for this gift given to me as I did not always take the time to enjoy and savor the simple and yet miraculous happenings around me. I set my intention there and then, to take the time to sit and enjoy what Mother Nature is giving for my pleasure. I want to enjoy each moment without feeling sad because it is not totally what I wanted at that moment. A small breeze came up and then the powder puffs of snow were being blown off my tree right towards me as I sat inside in the warmth of my home. Contrast can be beautiful, it is what we make of it. I feel so full.
