.......Is that if you pay attention, you may find magical places and experience magical moments. Like walking through dense swamp land; filled with rich, deep greens that settle down into one's heart; or vibrant flowers that provide vital nectar for huge bumble bees that do graceful dances, as they flutter from one petal to the next. You may get to meet decades old trees that hold the ways and secrets of the swamp and forest; containing it all in their trunks that are strong yet elegant. You may meet a ginormous spider, who telepathically asks you not to interrupt their meal of a bumble bee. A huge bumble bee, that missed the flowers and met their fate in the equally ginormous web. You may have had the privilege of seeing a handful of turtles that pop up their heads, one at a time, their black faces with yellow stripes a stark contrast to the green that surrounds them. If you stay in the present moment you might have seen the path that brought all this and more, all while breathing in the thick humidity that makes it all the more enchanting. It was staying in the moment, being open to what was before us, that made for making treasured memories with my heart brother Vincenzo. Letting go of agendas, letting go of fears, letting go period. Life feels more alive when staying in the moment.
