Assignment # 16; What Do You See In The World That Is Awesome?

That's one of the topic questions for this week's assignment. What's in "  " I use from the assignment sheet. We are to "take a few moment of each day stop and be present with the beauty around us." The environment, the "people" in our lives, those we met,  "nature", "wildlife" and things that make up our world we live in.

"We get to enjoy the very best and brightest that life has to offer." We can think about how fulfilling those moments are. We can be a rest and at peace during these moments. "In these moments, we are filled with gratitude, love and peace. We aren't anxious about the future and we don't feel any guilt or regret about the past. This habit becomes the basis for living a peaceful, purposeful passionate life in and of itself."

So each day this week, we are to "take time to 'stop and smell the rose.'"
Here are some questions and suggestions from the assignment sheet.
"What do you see that is truly awesome?
A beautiful blossomed flower?
A baby deer?
A brand new building?
Your grandmother?

Find something to focus on each day that is truly awesome to you,
and write about how you feel in that moment you're truly present to life's beauty."

May we stop and smell the roses. May we see the beauty that's in our lives as we live. May this assignment bring us the awareness of our world around us. Amen.

What Do I See In The World That Is Awesome?I stopped and smelt the roses today. I listened to the sound of silence. It's a wonderful sound to hear.

With all the busyness in our lives, silence can be hard to come by. There's peace and silence. The only thing that can break the silence is nose.

There is something about being in silence. It's where we can be with ourselves. Just sitting. Waiting, Resting, Relaxing. What an awesome thing to have in our lives.

We at times can take the stillness of a moment in moments for granted. It's good to be in quiet. I feel good in the quietness of time. There isn't nothing there. But quietness.

I enjoy the quietness. I can calm my mind down. I can relax my being. I can restore my soul through the quietness. Besides in the silence time there is only me and the quietness that is there.

 I wrote this poem yesterday.

"Quiet On Display"
In the quiet still
Peaceful as can be
Sleep, sleeps this moment
Soon awakes to see

A new day to birth
What a joyful thing
Forgiven from past
As freedom still rings

In stillness of day
Beauty come surrounds
Quiet on display
Where peace can be found
