I tend to be the type of person who wants to fit in as much fun as possible. Hurry up and have fun kind of mentality. What a wonderful reminder today to slow down, stop even, as my kayak was held up by this newly fallen tree. I considered for a time trying to scrunch underneath the log but decided instead to accept this barrier; to take it for what it was, a chance to stop and relish in the beauty that surrounded me.
“Take a moment from time to time to remember that
you are alive. I know this sounds a trifle obvious, but it is amazing
how little time we take to remark upon this singular and gratifying
fact. By the most astounding stroke of luck an infinitesimal portion of
all the matter in the universe came together to create you and for the
tiniest moment in the great span of eternity you have the incomparable
privilege to exist.” ~ Bill Bryson I'm a Stranger Here Myself
