Sometimes we get so lost in doing what we "have to do" or feel we are "supposed to do" for the sake of our children, careers, parents... that we get into a groove... and before we realize it months, seasons, sometimes years have passed by... and then one day someone takes notice of you or pays attention to you... they may have been in your life for years but for whatever the reason, on one particular day, at one particular moment you lifted your head, slowed down long enough to notice them back... and that is how it begins...
The Awakening.
We didn't plan on it. It doesn't fit into our schedules. Nothing about it is convenient... and yet... The moon takes on a new glow. You notice the wind in the branches and the birds singing in the still of the morning. And you realize that life holds possibilities that you only ever imagined... You find comfort and acceptance in the midst of your chaos... Do you fight to stay awake? Or do you pull the covers back up over your head, hit the snooze alarm and go back to sleep until you planned on getting up?

I'm normally the person who fights to stay awake, but I need a nap later that day. LOL!
Those moments of awakening...those epiphanies are kind of fun. Sometimes.
Pretty picture.
Thank you for your comments KK... You are correct in stating that those moments definitely require naps later on!!! :)
The picture is actually one that my son took while in Africa this past summer. It just seemed to fit the mood.
such an incredibly timely meditation for me right now. thank you very much.
You're quite welcome Lime.... it has given me quite a bit to ponder as of late... I'm glad it could touch you as well.
