See what is.
The tape playing
in the back of our minds
often distracts us from
what is right in front of us.
Taken together,
“see what is”
are three challenging words.
Pausing
several times a day
to check
whether
the tape in my mind
is
related
to
what is right
in front of me
can bring me
into
the present moment.

We all need
to learn to
set limits.
Do you live in an
unnaturally
high setting
for normal?
Are you
expecting
too much of
yourself and others?
When is life or
our response to it,
just too much
or just enough?
Can you build in some
flexibility?
What if our lives are
right on
the edge,
and we don’t see
the precipice?

Cold
No snow yet.
The bird feeder
put out
yesterday.
Now a ballet
of swirling birds
discovering
with delight.
A rogue squirrel
discovering
dropped seed.
More birds
than before
a lovely neighbor
offered an array
of feeders and suet.
She moved
before last winter.
Her son said
she had feeders
outside the window
and new birds
feasted.
Before she went
to sleep one evening,
she e-mailed him:
“I made the
best of my day.”
Those were her
last words.
I smile,
remembering her.
Our days
are made of
moments,
each
a little seed
of our twenty-four hours.
Some moments
are sad,
others
happy,
even joyful.
Being in
each moment,
living
the best we can.
Making the
best
of our
day.
