Ever thorught about just trying to live free for today. From all the thing's going on around you and inside your head. Sometimes you just have to stop and take a breath of air, or go to the beach, mountains, or were ever you need to be alone to feel that freedom. It's really been a hard time this time around. I have to take more breaks then every before.

Right on. I make it a point to stop, and work on my sensuality. Developing sensuality leads to spirituality for me. I take these evening strolls on the lake here in my town, at least twice a week. That is where I commune with nature, with trees, the water in the lake, the eagles and other birds, the children playing around, the people walking, jogging and exercising, the families spreading out and having picnics... That's where I feel as one with the spirit of the universe.
Sometimes I do that even in the middle of all the chaos around, like in traffic, by surrendering to the moment instead of feeling frustrated that I'm stuck, looking around and observing everything in detail, telling myself that everything's as it should be, that I'm here stuck in the traffic at that moment not without my loving Higher Power willing so
At other times, when I'm too caught up with the challenges of the day or feel stressed out, I sit in my living room looking out of the window into the skies, the squirrels running around in the trees, the busy life of the crows, the children playing in the school ground, the butterflies that come visiting me through the window into my room, circling around and playing
The smell, the sounds, the images, they all have the power to move one deeply into realizing how strongly and intimately interconnected it all is in this universe. It's amazing when I am able to surrender to the magic of the moment whatever that moment might bring to my observation and being and to rejoice in the beauty of nature and creation.
