It doesn't take much

Last evening as we were sitting in our patio room, donna said, "look!".   to our amazement, there were two (perhaps three) deer standing about 10 yards away from our house, eating bird feed that had fallen to the ground.  our room became very quite as we wanted to avoid startling them.  and for a moment, time stood still as we watched them eat.  we were completely enthralled.

and when they finally left,  i realized that the peaceful feeling i was experiencing was the result witnessing these beautiful animals doing no more than being a deer.  even now, as i look out at the spot where they stood, i can relive the experience of being totally captured by nature's surprise, thankful that brains can store thoughts, feelings, and states of mind and play them back in a split second.  although my words do not do justice to the experience, but i would guess most of us can relate stories about being enthralled by something we have witnessed. 

what enthralls you?  what brings you peace?  allow yourself the luxury of re-experiencing moments of enthrallment.  enjoy.
