Yesterday, I
talked about seeking peace
from the self. Today is a new day.
“Each moment is a place you’ve never been.” - Mark Strand
There’s a lesson to be learned
from every experience we have. Whether it’s an article I’m
reading or having a really bad day. Even when I’m just sitting and
doing nothing, there’s something for me to learn from.
One
thing that mindfulness has helped me with is being more aware of
what’s actually going on around me. It’s helped me become more
observant, which especially in interactions with people, is very
useful. For example, it’s become easier for me to notice the
expressions people are making and what they say about the situation.
I can read them much easier without them saying a peep. As a teacher
this skill has proven invaluable (though
I’m far from perfect).
On
top of mindfulness, I think that opening the mind to the imagination
has helped in seeing what lessons lie in our everyday situations.
Even doing the same thing
in the same place every day offers a new experience. I
just have to try looking at things from different angles. Each
day I write I think about different things. Each thought takes me to
a different place. In that sense, I get lost in different worlds of
thought.
What sights await to be
discovered?
Peace
