Living in the here and now is of paramount importance for our overall well-being and personal growth. It allows us to fully engage with the present moment, appreciating the beauty and richness of life that surrounds us. When we focus on the present, we can experience greater joy, gratitude, and mindfulness. It enables us to make meaningful connections with the people around us and savor the small, often overlooked pleasures of life. Moreover, living in the present helps us manage stress and anxiety by reducing our preoccupation with the past or the uncertainties of the future. By embracing the here and now, we cultivate a deeper sense of contentment and fulfillment, making each day a gift to be cherished rather than a mere stepping stone to some distant destination. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 “I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is.” ― Alan Wilson Watts ‎‧₊˚✩ 🪐✩˚₊‧ ༘⋆ ‎‧₊˚✩ 🪐✩˚₊‧ ༘⋆ I Am Wont Bodies which through eternal midnight glide, Riding the tide to alien abodes, Upon these cobblestones of foreign roads, In jaunting flights of fancy, I abide.

Leaves clinging feebly to the bosom prong, Rattling fingers of February’s clutch, Rabbit terror huddling in my hutch, I heed wide-eyed the lack of right and wrong. I am wont to fear the opening of the door. Omniscient of all matter near and far, But for the clouds obscuring my mind’s eye, Supplicating the indifferent sky, I whisper unto a twinkling star.

On this enchanting autumn morning in North Idaho, our mini drone Tinkerbell graces us with her lofty worldview. As the golden leaves of the trees shimmer in the gentle, early sunlight, a pristine creek winds its way through the landscape like a silver ribbon, reflecting the ethereal beauty of the world above. The azure sky stretches as far as the eye can see, festooned with fluffy clouds, creating a canvas for the vibrant colors of the season. A delicate mist hangs in the crisp air, lending an almost magical quality to the scene. This glorious autumn morning in North Idaho is a symphony of nature's finest hues and a reminder of the captivating, serene beauty that the fall season bestows upon this picturesque corner of the world. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 The Four Winds I. East Wind O East wind, I have awoken to your song Through lilacs sung, until I am in need Of nothing more than your voice my life long, Quickening my spirit with such sweet mead! With spring you herald the new-dawning day! Upon wings of glorious being fly, ‘Cross the horizon’s mountain-framed sashes! O azure angel, have you come to stay, To cleanse the heavens, clear the clouds, and dry This dew glistening on my eyelashes? II. South Wind South wind, I heard rumors of far-off lands, Breathed, languid and sultry, soft on my ear, From wide seas where memory never stands Still long enough for the meaning to clear. A tranquil song of carelessness you sing, An offhand ode to some tropical noon Seen sailing through palm-secluded harbors. Tidings of full-blooming blossom you bring, Swaying cypress beneath the evening moon, Settling perfumed among rose arbors. III. West Wind O west wind whispering from the sunset Secrets of otherwise-forgotten dead, Hushing the meadowlark’s joy with regret, Ushering bulbs and seeds to a cold bed, Before your low dirge flee the autumn leaves, Like reluctant spirits on the threshold Of demise, clutching at the hedge and gate, While the willows weep, and the lodge pole grieves. And I am moved to tears; as I grow old, Believing more each year your words of fate. IV. North Wind North wind, in your raving where is the soul? What fury makes your warlike trumpet blow? Across the sullen seas you heave and roll, O’er lifeless lands entombed in ice and snow, Bringing the march of a barbarous hoard, Leaving all forests and fields destitute Before an onslaught of conscienceless harms. Proud fool, you have put all life to the sword! Now nothing answers your call for tribute, Save a rattling of the alder’s arms. ~ Daniel F Mitchell 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 Contact AOWS at: anythingoutdoorswithsteve@gmail.com 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 Music in this video: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nocturne by Nomyn https://soundcloud.com/nomyn Music provided by https://www.plugnplaymusic.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------- FOLLOW THE ARTIST ----------------------------------- YOUTUBE : / @nomynmusic INSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/nomynmusic/ FACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/NomynMusic TWITTER : https://twitter.com/NomynMusic SPOTIFY : https://open.spotify.com/artist/5VbsC...

The mystery of life and death has captivated the human imagination for millennia, as we ponder the enigmatic transition from one realm to another. It's a profound journey into the unknown, shrouded in questions about the essence of existence itself. The afterlife, often envisioned as a realm where the soul transcends the limitations of the physical world, is a source of wonder and fascination. It beckons with the promise of answers to the age-old questions about the purpose of life and the true nature of our existence. The distant gong's call, like a mystical echo from beyond, stirs the human spirit, reminding us of the timeless allure of the great cosmic unknown, where the ultimate secrets of life and death may be unveiled. Can you hear the call of a distant gong? ⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️ Stained Glass Images Where do you wander, errant knight, In adamant hope of success? What noble deed inspires your flight? What fight does your effort address? Is life really what you esteem? Or is illusion what you know? Have you added up all you dream? Shall you truly reap what you sow? Are you sure that you shall arise At the end of your enterprise? The moment before you die, Cast your gaze up to the sky, When stained glass images of light In your mind are all that remain, And the cold fragments of your plight Settle down around you like rain. ~ Daniel F Mitchell ⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️⛩️ Music in this video: "Solas Composer - Timeless One" is is under a Creative Commons (CC BY-SA 3.0) license. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... https://soundcloud.com/solas_composer Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: • 🗾Traditional Japanese (Royalty Free M... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🔊 Artist: @SolasComposer https://soundcloud.com/solas_composer https://spotify.com/artist/5awFg11m6q... https://solas1111.bandcamp.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ☸☸☸☸☸☸☸☸☸☸ Contact AOWS at: anythingoutdoorswithsteve@gmail.com #buddhism #lifepurpose #spirituality

The Ghost Pirates by William Hope Hodgson - Audiobook

Finding a purpose in life is a deeply personal and profound journey that can infuse our existence with a profound sense of meaning. It's about discovering the 'why' behind our actions, the driving force that gives our lives direction and significance. A life with purpose is like a compass, guiding us through the maze of existence, helping us make sense of the challenges, and providing a solid foundation to build upon. When we uncover our purpose, we connect with a sense of fulfillment and passion that can inspire us to achieve our dreams and make a positive impact on the world. It's a journey of self-discovery, introspection, and self-awareness, where we explore our values, strengths, and desires to align them with our actions and choices. In this pursuit, we find not just a reason to live but a reason to thrive, to grow, and to contribute in ways that bring profound meaning to our lives and those we touch. 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️ To Bathe in Eternal Rain Do you fear to be free?

A beautiful autumn day at an impossibly beautiful alpine lake is a dream come true for nature enthusiasts. As the leaves transition into a vibrant tapestry of red, orange, and gold, the crisp mountain air invigorates the senses. The journey to this hidden gem takes you through winding trails adorned with fallen leaves that crunch beneath your boots. Upon reaching the lake's pristine shores, you're met with a breathtaking sight. The clear, mirror-like surface of the water reflects the surrounding towering peaks and the azure sky above. It's a place where time seems to stand still, allowing you to bask in the tranquility of the wilderness, relishing every moment of serenity and awe-inspiring beauty that this idyllic alpine lake offers. 🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂🍂 Mother Fair Who has not wondered at the waking morn, When day opened dew-wet lashes anew, Of essence who watched while the world was born, Wearing fragranced lace of virginal hue! I saw her extend tender fingertips, Forth aspiring as towering spires, While shy cherries scarcely dared bare their limbs. Her bloom proceeded from mystical lips That whispered of timeless budding desires, In a choir of a thousand sacred hymns. __________ Do you remember one warm afternoon, When she danced in the form of leaves of grass, To a beat of monarch’s wings and bee tune – And frolicked free, in revelry and sass, Until the tulips colored to the rims, And daffodils brimmed over with nectar! She was passionate in yielding a gain! As a sparkling sunbeam in a brook swims, She reflected her radiant specter, Dwelling in rainbows after a light rain. __________ A season of plenty came to her door, When grain weighed heavy the harvester’s hand, And no unsatisfied want could ask more Than a full portion of her fruitful land – A share in her bountiful granaries! She had stocked her store with goodness to share. Thus, with no greater virtue to impart, She gleaned the magic-laden apple trees, Partaking of the crisp October air, Until sweet-ripened to the very heart. __________ In an amber glow of low-setting sun, Weary drooped below the edge of the sky, Where bare-boned beeches and alders are done, I have seen resignation in her eye. Now remorseless north winds blow cruel and cold, Sifting the stubbled fields with wisps of snow. And storm clouds threaten from their lofty lair. She has forgotten, since she has grown old, All of her promises made so long ago.
