“A Moment of Meditation”… As I was feeding tonight, I sat down in between kennels to catch my breath; I closed my eyes and put my head down on my knees. The sounds in the air began to increase in intensity; first the crickets, and the mosquitoes, then the locust… the birds and then the frogs – there were at least six different types of frogs I could hear. I began to notice the sound of the wind, soft as it was, blowing through my backyard Willow. I kept my eyes closed and listened, as the sounds waxed and waned in synchronicity. The moment took me away from the exhaustion, the stress of the past few days, and the fact that I still had half of the dogs to feed. The water trickling into the ducks’ pond behind me joined the chorus and suddenly brought me back down to ‘reality’ as I opened my eyes and stood to resume my duties. I love my moments of JUST BEING.
