Subtle

The sunrise came in slowly this morning. It peeked through the clouds with a burst of orange light. The light found its way through the thick of the grey clouds that seem to be everywhere during this Australian spring. It was a peaceful and subtle start to the day. Exactly what I needed.

How often do we crave peace in our daily chaotic lives? We rush around from place to place, activity to activity, always missing those precious moments of stillness. However, I have come to learn that the stillness is everywhere if you are willing to look for it. If you are willing to stop and look for it then you will find it in almost any circumstance. Your focus determines your reality and with millions of options from which to create your reality then why would you ever pick something that you didn't like?
