View From My Window: Musings of an Observer of Nature

Observations of the awe and wonder of nature as viewed from my window; and reflections thereupon with respect to my life, both in enhancing its enjoyment and the lessons that are conveyed to me along my spiritual journey.

Though 62 years of age, I still feel that little girl inside and I indulge her more and more. I don't worry as I once did about "what people will think". I think more about "what I think". I like me and I don't mind admitting it. Yet, I am more humble than when young. I know that I don't know it all. I love life moment by moment. Though in the autumn of my years, I plan to play among fall's leaves rather than sit by the fire in fear of my coming winter. Carpe diem! I have learned, though late in life, some important principles by which to live my life. And in doing so, I experience more and more the joy and contentment life has to offer.

Happiness like a spring

A bubbling underground spring

In my neighborhood there is a pond which is fed by an underground spring in addition to run-off from rain. Since there has been a drought this year, the pond is drying up. But, the spring still bubbles to the surface, providing its clear, clean water.

I, of late, like the pond have been drying up. But today, I feel an undercurrent of happiness, like the spring, that is attempting to bubble forth to the surface. Let me clear away any debris in my life that might stop my happiness from coming forth.

Acceptance of life’s situations, whatever might come my way, is the key to my being all that I can be. And that acceptance includes all the people, places and things with which I come in contact. It is not my purpose to change others nor to offer resistance; but to accept. From this acceptance, my purpose, to be all that I can be, bubbles forth clear and clean to the surface of my life.
