This Moment

Today I Am Grateful For ~

• Returning to the ranks of the 4.0 students.
• How far this pushes me out of my comfort zone (as in...Are you sure? I got the 4.o? Me? No, you don't get it. I'm the really quiet one who doesn't get in to trouble, but never does her work. I'm the one that gets overlooked. I'm the one that teachers are always surprised at the grade they're giving me, as in --"Why am I giving you a C/D?" It can't possibly be me that earned those grades, can it?).
• Seeing and communing with the very likely, record-breaking, largest snapping turtle ever. I actually looked into her beautiful brown eyes and touched her back.
• The River Adventures I've been having....
• Finding a musketball imbedded in the riverbank.
• Seeing a one legged goose.
• Seeing racoons in the daytime.
• Seeing a groundhog (or as we refer to them, a friend/friends).
• Sitting on a fallen tree and watching the river flow underneath me~twice in the past week. Once by myself and once with Richard, a different tree each time.
• Powerful Questions and Powerful Answers, ie.:
• ~What time is it? ...Now.
• ~Where are you? ...Right Here.
• ~Who are you? ...This Moment.
• Radical Trust and leaping empty handed into the void.
• You and all you give to the world just by being here.
