 I believe our degree of presence directly correlates with the amount of joy we experience in any given moment. I am feeling great today. Oh, what a beautiful day, woo! Yes! When I'm outside in silence with no phone and no distraction, I don't just see the flowers. I see them. In that, I feel gratitude. Oh, my man, good to see you, bro. Good to see you, too. Love you, too, brother. I feel love. I think this calls for a little happy dance. I feel more. Nature is a great teacher. She can make me feel so small, but she's also wild, unpredictable, and perspective-giving. Being outside, plain and simple, makes me feel better.
