I have often been accused of NOT living in the MOMENT
I give lots of examples and proof by posting on the 25th of every month, MERRY PRACTICE CHRISTMAS. . .
But this wishing of a MERRY PRACTICE CHRISTMAS has nothing to do with skipping over every other holiday just to get to Christmas so much as I have countless times defended it has to do with KEEPING THE SPIRIT AND ALL THAT IS GOOD OF THAT DAY/SEASON EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR and not just for some solitary 24 hours. . .

In just a moment, nature tells us so much about what we think we know, and what we really can experience, like a season within a season.
Have you ever felt like that in the deepest part of winter you felt a warm than only summer can deliver or the deepest part of summer you felt it chill that no winter wind could ever blow across you?
We all live within seasons that have seasons, and we usually experience them in just a moment, sometimes quite literally. . .
Pay attention. . . we are living seasons within seasons always, no matter what the weather tells us, no matter what we feel, because inside is always changing. . .
I’m reminded of those famous Mary Oliver lines that read like both poem and proverb:
Instructions for living a life:
Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
So. . .
WHEN THE OBVIOUS IS IN FRONT OF YOU. . .
IN JUST A MOMENT. . .
PAY ATTENTION!
