Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky

Do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it?  No, we just enjoy it.

Each second, each minute of our lives can be like this.

Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine,

the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing.

We don't need to go to China to enjoy the blue sky.

We don't need to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing.

We can be in touch with these things right now.

Yes, agreed, just live in the present and enjoy the environment.

When we are all aware of our awareness, breath and relationship to each other, we are truly functioning as one group of positive intention and clarity, so we can make a difference to how things are. I believe this is happening now, I see signs and feel the move of energy towards the greater good.

it is true, already the change has started and soon it will happen. All the stars are coming together. All the people of this world are involved in it.

I’ve been learning these lessons - always wanted to travel but as I explore and learn to appreciate what I have right here I am more content to bloom where I’m planted as the saying goes…

yes, this is just what I’ve found - I’ve had to learn to appreciate where I am over the last few years, as circumstances have prevented travelling too much! I love looking at other people’s holiday photo’s though and exotic places on TV and the internet, and particularly outer space!

If you had a chance to go as a passenger on a spaceflight, would you go?

I thought I would once, but now I’m not so sure, would you….

Up until now I never thought I would, but if I thought it was reasonably “safe” I’ve been thinking I might. Maybe I’m willing to take more risks now that the kids are off on their own…

I hope then, that if you have the opportunity, you will and send me a photo, if I’m not on the same flight!
