Imagination at Play

Remember when we were kids, we used to play a cloud game?  We would run our imagination wild and see different creatures in the sky.  We would lay down or sit in the grass, and just be in the now, admiring each shape of the cloud or bird, even bug pass by.

When we grow up, we stop playing.  We stop using our imagination.  We get overwhelmed with everyday worries and responsibilities.  All we do is live in our heads.  We do not even see what is above us or in front of us.  We do not have time to stop and just breathe.

What if we would schedule time for ourselves, to enjoy the present.  It does not have to be the whole day, which would be great, though.  Ten, fifteen minutes, half an hour can be enough, too.  If we would spend time to just slow down, and take time to sit and soak up the sun, walk barefoot on the ground (weather permitting), we instantly would re-energize ourselves.  If we would kick up the notch, and unleash our imagination and creativity, our hearts will be filled with joy and wonder.  We never know what brilliant idea will pop unless we take time to sit in silence and be present in ourselves.

Let’s take time to just be.  Breathe.  Smile.  Enjoy every minute.  Life is too precious. Let’s have our imagination run wild.

Nature is a master painter.  It is up to us to see and admire the masterpieces in the sky.  What do you see in these clouds?

What will you see if you take time for yourself and unleash your imagination?  What brilliant idea will enter your mind?  There is a great wisdom inside of us, if we’ll take time to listen, to play and just be.

Nature’s Wonders

Nature bring us wonders that can awe us and inspire us.  If we open our hearts and minds, and enjoy simple moments in life, we can notice things that will keep us speechless, boggle our minds, or simply warm our hearts and put a huge smile on our faces.

I feel that I’m one with nature.  I see things that people easily miss.  My imagination also plays a big part in finding wonder in the smallest things.  Here are some of them for you to enjoy:

Little Things That Matter

Sometimes there is a surprise waiting around the corner. Yesterday I was be-friended by three horses. As I drove by, I saw them coming to me. So, I stopped the car and went to see them closer. They greeted me as best friends. There was such a connection, I cannot explain. As I talked to them, they closed their eyes from pleasure… At some point, they even fought for attention.
