When you are feeling the mundane,
Ordinary life,
Remember this moment is more precious than you think.
In fact,
A lot more than you think.
You may be passing by someone you believe is a total stranger.
You may be busy driving a car while you count the number of dings from your text messages.
You may be doing a thousand things while you listen to your toddler excitedly explain what color his cup is.
All of these moments,
They are precious.
They go by so,
So fast.
You are mistaking these moments for an eternity.
We are mistaken.
These ordinary moments go by faster than a flash.
We forget this.
We forget the simple truth until something else distracts you and that moment is gone already.
Because the earth is shifting,
The stars are realigning,
The air is changing and the tides are stirring,
People are dying and babies are being born in one moment.
The mixture on this earth is constantly changing.
These moments,
Ordinary,
Everyday moments,
Good,
Bad and everything in between are fleeting.
So stay.
Stay in this moment as fully as you can.
Open your mind's eye.
Pour that coffee with more attention to the sounds.
Listen to your toddler's story without doing anything else.
Drive your car like no one's business.
Walk with eyes wide open.
Stay.
Stay awake in this moment and another,
Then another.
Breathing fully to your lungs and fill.
And breathe out completely.
The next precious moment is already here.
Now gently open your eyes,
Breathing deeply.
And breathe out completely.
Ready to take on the next moment here.
