"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?"
Matthew 6:25-27
We worry every day. about small stuff and big stuff. Our brain is wired like that. Some worry more than others, but we all go through this. And we run from point A to point B and then C and D and E and F for a whole day. Did you ever count how many places you visit a day? On Mondays I visit around 5.
We go on and on and we want to meet expectations and be the best in what we do because that's how we were raised but on our wanders from point A to point B we should also look around and observe the world around us. This is how we notice tiny, little day changing events like a crow eating a pastry from the ground. It picked it up and it took it on a wire to eat it undisturbed. How amazingly smart these birds are and thus they survive and live on happily. While I was observing this, I remembered the Bible quote above and it just hit me: even if I might be 3 minutes late, walking is better than running and people won't think I am the worst person ever if I am not there on the dot.
I have "wake up moments" like these when I realize I should take it slow. Yeah, organize it all, but slow down and breathe and do what i love most: look around, notice life blooming, birds eating and then singing happily and know that whatever comes, everything will be fine. Such a small moment made my day :)
