I was sitting in Panera Bread after a quiet lunch and came across this post on 60 second meditations. Before I did a little writing I had planned, I just closed my eyes for 60 seconds.
Normally I would have been annoyed by all the noise around me if I wanted to meditate. Instead, this wave of gratitude and appreciation wash over me and I noticed the water I was swimming in. The music playing wasn't my type, but I heard it as creativity and expression. The voice of a child was curiosity and openness manifested. The cool air from the ductwork was safety and comfort and abundance. The food I still tasted was bounty and nourishment.
You get the picure. I hope you get the feeling. Like a fish noticing the water.
