The Beauty of Now by Brette Sims

The Beauty of Now

I wrote this conscious flow while making a strong effort to fully appreciate and take advantage of my time away at my vacation home. :)

I sit in a hot tub overlooking golden fields.

Green bushes and full trees stretch out to a horizon that meets the pacific ocean.

I feel blessed.

I carefully scribble down words in my notebook so not to splatter chlorified water on them.

I breathe.

I take in the present moment. 

Just me, warm water, and stream gracefully rising up, and dancing around the pool.

I continue to breathe

In and out. 

My dog sits on the wooden steps of the balcony impatiently waiting for me to throw a ball.

I chuck the ball into the dense field and sit back into my silence.

The lower half of my body submerged under water, as summer winds curl around my upper half.

I am at peace.

I sip my glass of red wine and breathe

In and out. 

Can I bottle up the beauty of this moment in a glass jar?

Can this moment last forever?

No moment ever does. 

But presence awaken senses.

I absorb every inch of this moment.

Wiggling my toes as the hot water strips them of gravity and they float. 

Up and down.

I am.

My eyes fixate on the airy cotton candy clouds infused with translucent pink’s and grey’s.

They hover softly over the horizon… meeting the ocean. 

I never feel closer to my source than when I am here.

At this house.

Soaking in the beauty of now.
