The Essence of the Stream

    The grass was filled with beautiful little droplets of water tonight…I guess it rained before…there were droplets here and there among the branches of the trees too sparkling. I sat down on a rock next to the stream watching the water pour down the stream…every movement so gorgeous so perfect…I focused in on one rock…the way the water was wrapping itself around it in its constant movement…so mesmerizing I could watch it forever…I feel everything is so much more alive at night…more real…not blinded by the constant light…you have both now… the slight light of the moon and the darkness of the night…its balancing…the silence nurturing…grounding me in the present moment…there is nothing else for me only this moment…the smells so vibrant…the essence more alive…the sensation soothing…

    I later felt drawn to touch the water so went a bit further down and put my fingers in the water gently moving them around…there were some bubbles created by the water…so adorable…the movement of my fingers made a small leaf get loose from a pile and I took my fingers out of the water …it was moving around with the current and the bubbles in that one spot…again I was mesmerized…it was a most perfect dance…its so fascinating I could never get bored…watching nature…so beautiful…so perfect…placing me into complete internal stillness…calmness…loving each moment…each second…perfect…being with every moment every sensation…every feeling…present…alive…there is nothing else but the moment for me…this is what is real to me…I take it into my every day life…every movement slow…calm…whether getting dressed, or writing…or cooking..or bathing…or breathing…enjoying each second each sensation…my internal stillness…presence remaining…my body feeling euphoric…melancholic..enjoying each moment…
