Lesson of Mindfulness

Looking at the backyard down through a window Brought a smile on my lips watching the scene below A squirrel was sniffing around some bushes Another one was scurrying up and down on oak tree branches A humming bird was drinking nectar from lantana flowers A purple colored dragonfly was hovering around purple blossoms of crape myrtle Pairs of house finches were chirping loudly in great excitement A nuthatch and a titmouse also joined the melody with their own distinctiveness A thought came to my mind of mindfulness Isn’t it just taking time to observe the present moment with awareness?
