Pure Bliss

A few years back I was blessed to visit Sedona with a dear friend. It was there that I experienced pure joy.  Mi Amo is a hotel/spa that is surrounded by red rock.  I was able to spend the most blissful 24 hours of my life in this powerful place. While walking along the grounds I had a sudden feeling come over me that I could not put a name to.  I felt like my chest was ready to explode with utter compassion and joy.  It was something I had never experienced before.  I wanted to be a sponge and soak up everything I was feeling.  Yet I was overwhelmed.  I’ve never felt this before and I wasn’t really sure what to do.  I walked along the path in tears.  They were tears of happiness; utter happiness that I’ve only felt a few times in my life as in the birth of my children. 

Have you ever been on a walk and notice something along the way that catches your eye?  Do you stop to look more closely to see what you’ve been drawn to? This is the perfect time to stop and be in the moment.  When this happens, stop, ponder and feel whatever it is that made you take a second look.  What does it look like to you?  Look at it from different angles.  Does this object trigger some thoughts or memories?  Or did it just bring you a smile?  Be observant as you go about your day.  If something catches your attention, stop and take a second look.
