Contentment

After a meditation class on the last breath we all will encounter, I had a short love affair with a dead leaf. ☺️ The shadows at play with sunlight in this fallen leaf were far more captivating and the Sun, himself, more beautiful than ever.

Death talks or meditation on your final breath could feel uncomfortable to you. The same could also lead you to feel a lot more gratitude for the moment at hand. Reverence for the entire life experience can bring you a deeper sense of connection and not stemming out of fear but of wonder, humility, and expansive contentment with the present —-

Do not take contentment as stagnancy, this is the kind of contentment that radiates from your being and fills your cheeks with lifted aliveness, the contentment that leads you to feel and do more with the moment before you because your attention is not pulled in any other direction. This moment is all you crave.
