I'm certainly finding myself at risk of the same busyness - and I'm finding two things that are helping me to stay in the moment:<BR/><BR/>I'm doing a lot of photography - and what I like to do is observe a scene or a person, watching for moments, and pick the right time. It's amazing to me how much of a spiritual discipline photography is.<BR/><BR/>I've also been doing more bicycling for exercise, and just picked up a road bike. There's something very meditative about being in the countryside, feeling the pebbles and cracks in the road, and noticing all those little hills that you don't bother to notice in the car.<BR/><BR/>Both areas give me awareness, and opportunities to practice being int he moment, and it's wonderful how easy prayer is at those times.Pat Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875157483187322877noreply@blogger.com
