Sometimes the way of doing things is not doing anything, if your sitting on your deck, the longer you stay still is how closer the birds are gonna get to you so their beauty can be better appreciated. Nature have its on pace, and wanting or not we are part of it, in a forest even thought the plants have different speeds of growth they all seem to match together in one beautiful harmonic landscape.
Sometimes in life we gotta be like the praying mantis or the humming bird. The mantis awaits, still, for the right moment to strike, no hurry, no worries, just the security that the right moment is there. The humming bird moves fast, so fast, he seem still to untrained eyes, the human body, soul, and spirit can be flowing, as never before, free and brave, but the body and the mind can be still, acting whenever they are needed. Also the humming bird takes its time to appreciate the flowers, and their power of healing, sometimes just stoping for 5 minutes to appreciate nature can be a healing experience.
Do you really need to be there right now? maybe arriving at 8:35 instead of 8:30 is possible, and we can stand still for 5 minutes to appreciate the beauty around us.
Namastê everyone that read it

Amei o texto!
às vezes no fim da tarde, saio do calabouço onde trabalho e fico lá fora no jardim, por alguns minutos sem ver mais nada, além do céu multicolorido, nuvens cor de pêssego e o sol vermelinho (ou vermelhinho?!)a se pôr no horizonte. é realmente um momento mágico!! E o melhor de tudo é que nunca se repete.
