I am grateful for the sunshine, the lovely morning at home, Mummy Daddy's love, Siddharth, the friendly porter, the duck pics on the bus stand, the Awesome people in Siddharths nursery and the great garden he gets to play in, the breathtakingly beautiful flowers I spotted while walking, For running into Andy just out of the blue, for the great bus ride, for my wonderful school, for the skip in my steps, for the light in my heart, for the twinkle in my eyes that makes everything look wonderfull... and for the great ZEN quote I read this morning which says, "What, if anything is lacking in the present moment?"....And the answer I feel - nothing -nothing-....absolutely nothing!....
The mountains I desired were inside of me,
The free flowing rivers are inside of me
For years I chased a golden experience that I had for the first time as I lay on a rock in the Himalayas by the side of a fast flowing assi-ganga stream, looking up at the twinkling stars!
For a long long time I wanted to re-live that experience, linking it first to the Himalayas itself and wanting to go back there, then linking it to nature, and wanting to be in nature all the time, and now after almost 20 years I have re-found that experience and I feel that bliss and joy and contentment NOW,.. and it need be linked to nothing that is outside of me although it matters not what I link to; for when I am living this wonderful experience all that I bring into it only shares and becomes a part of the wonderful experience.
