Yesterday I was out enjoying the gorgeous Autumn weather we have been experiencing here in Queensland. Not entirely sure we can describe 33 degrees as Autumn weather though.
As I was working in the garden, I noticed one of my furbabies under one of the Citrus Fruit Trees. Starring intently! Into the canopy of the tree. Curious I decided to check out what she was looking at. My first thought was snake. Its not inconceivable to think we would have snakes. We live on a semi-rural property and I definitely have seen snakes before. And while I am a little wary of our serpentine friends, I wanted to see it.
Anyway I looked and I looked. Stood there starring for ages along with my (now thinking totally crazy) pup. I moved positions to see if I could get a new perspective. Again I stood starring into the tree's branches. Nothing. Moved position again - this time I crouched down and got a little comfortable on the ground. Sat there just watching up into the tree.
Strangely after a few moment of gazing up with a curious nature I felt a gentle calmness wash over me. It then became evident what my furry friend was trying to show me. I had the opportunity, I needed to heed the space that I had been granted in my schedule. Space to stop and meditate.
Yep I am totally convinced my pooch was showing me how to meditate. Either that or she is seriously batty - LOL
Maybe there is a lesson we can all take from this. Slow down, get curious and enjoy the space we are given in nature.
