Author Kent Nerburn wrote that there are a thousand ways to live within the constraints of who we are and what our situation may be, and yet we get bored. Some will turn their lives around to escape it, and in so doing make it certain that they will encounter the same again, as the new becomes ordinary. . .
My feeling is the truest way is to find happiness in a simple life, to be content in your circumstances, to see the miracle in each day, within the ordinary. Real change comes from within, from seeing the world with new eyes.
Yesterday I snowshoed down to the valley after a spring blizzard, to be the first there after the snowfall.
And I saw the untracked white meadows,
saw where the birds fed themselves from the cattail stalks,
saw where a solitary fox wandered through the cattails, when the snow was still hard from the morning cold.
And I wouldn't trade anything for it, my choice from the thousand, on this day.
