I’m off on another retreat, this time a private holiday. “Holiday” does not mean that I am not continuing to work on living my Vision because every aspect of my life is my Vision. I just mean this trip is not formal research and has no agenda aside from to experience the richness in each moment. I have found lately that each moment is pregnant with so much when I just slow down enough to be in it. This struck me this morning when I stepped out of our little cottage on the cliff. I spied an orange butterfly suckling on a pink bloom of the bougainvillea bush there. She opened and closed her wings slowly rhythmically really enjoying the nectar and presumably the moment. This moment led me to set my intention for the day; stop wanting more & enjoy the abundance and richness in each moment…even those that I think are “wrong”
In my last post (#40), I asked “Can we have it all? Good work & good love…or do we have to choose?”
Ultimately I concluded that future thinking was of no use. My job is to continue to practice being present in the moment; to let life unfold as it will. Today my thought is that we can have as much as we believe we can have. If we choose to live a life of abundance then that is what we will experience and if we choose to believe in scarcity then that is what we will live.
Right now I am off to sun myself and daydream….oops I mean live in the present moment. I will report on my progress and the goings on of this adventure later.
Until then much continued success and well being on your journey.
