Thank you, Ian. Every morning, I sat on my couch drinking my coffee and watching nature through my french windows, the rose bush outside my balcony and my fellow sparrows flying around, we call them our tenants for they live under our roof and in our chimney. When I’m in Mexico, I love watching the pelicans fishing in the Caribbean Sea. I am always in awe to the magic of life and nature, so happy to be part of it. Lots of love.

Oh Ian, I do love a good poem! Thank you.....for me, it is important to find these 'rest here a moment' times everyday. It's a way of embracing life's richness and being mindful of the deeper, often unnoticed, magic in everyday life.

Yesterday I found myself sitting in silence, surrounded by people I care deeply about... feeling the energy and love around me...beautiful!

I love Thich Nhat Hanh, and the possibility. I love the poem of rest, too. I seek to wonder at something each day. Sometimes it's seeing my wife clearly or watching a squirrel or hearing Bob Marley's song, 3 Little Birds, at the Farmers Market (all happened today). I'm grateful for this contemplation. Have a wonderful Sunday there.
