What A Day To Be Alive

I wrote this while sitting quietly with sunlight coming through the window. Nothing dramatic was happening. Just one of those ordinary moments when I suddenly became aware of the beauty of it all.

A simple thought landed, 'what a day to be alive', and these words followed to capture that feeling and share it with you.

This is an invitation to pause, settle, and notice the quiet miracle of being here right now.

If it sparks even a moment of presence or awe, that’s enough. Enjoy.

Transcript

This day arrived without asking.

Light touched the planet at a precise angle,

Birds flew across the sky and your heart kept beating in the background of everything.

You are here because every choice,

Step and moment quietly carried you to this one.

Somewhere information is moving fast,

Attention is being pulled in a thousand directions.

And yet here you are,

Moving through a very specific slice of reality,

Occupying a precise position in space and time that will never repeat itself.

Your senses are old intelligence shaped to notice what matters and filter what doesn't.

Light,

Movement and rhythm,

Tone,

Texture and timing.

Where your attention lands the picture sharpens,

A sound isn't just a sound,

It carries location,

Distance and intent.

The ground beneath your feet holds memory of weight and water and time.

And there's something quietly powerful about staying with what is here now.

Letting your experience speak without fixing or judging or labelling.

Awareness sharpens,

Presence deepens and the ordinary opens to reveal the extraordinary.

This moment is happening once,

It has never happened before and it will never happen again in the exact same way.

And somewhere inside that recognition,

Without effort or explanation,

These words arrive on their own.

What a day to be alive.

Reviews

A great way to start your day in awareness and presence.

This reflection is worth saving, and I will revisit it often.

Beautiful! It’s a wonderful day to be alive. I got up early this morning and went outside and looked up to see the beautiful Northern Lights! Gods creation is so wonderful. I’m so lucky that I get to see this spectacular view.
