The Art of Being

When we observe other animals, whether our pets or wild animals – is it not amazing how they teach us so beautifully about the art of just being?
They rest. – They observe. – They spend a lot of their moments in stillness. They spend a lot of their moments in play. – They are perhaps our best examples of just being.
“Of course, because they have nothing else to do!” exclaims a voice.
“Really? And who put all the tasks of each day in your life?
Are we really forced to do all that we do?
Are we really forced to abandon our true essence?
Were we not meant to practice the art of being?
Were we meant to abandon the moments and joy of being?
I don’t think so.”

I really enjoy the way your photo presentations are evolving. They are very enjoyable. And, of course, the Nikon is doing its thing. Very nice.
Thank you David!
