The art of being present.

As we discover the art of noticing (a tiktok trend and or book however you find yourself there). I find myself in this recognition of presence.

Be where your feet are, I say to myself, as my head spins and spins. A daily reminder, affirmation, knowing – that there is only this sparkle of presence to keep me grounded.

The art of noticing is the same – both are an art of being present.

The art of noticing watching is the sky transform colours of pink purple to a solid blue. The art of noticing that someone has their Halloween decorations up and some may say it’s too early. The art of noticing that someone cut their grass today.

The art of noticing treetops changing hues. The art of noticing masculine softness as two teenage boys building a bouquet in the grocery store parking lot.

The art of noticing the soft loudness that fills the street. Slow and steady. The season of in between.

The art of slowness and acceptance. That you aren’t who you used to be but you’re on your way to way to who your want to be.

The art of noticing spirit as it surrounds you with little glimmers, animals and dimes.

This life is so mysterious yet beautiful, if you stop for a moment and practice the art of noticing.
