Sitting under the tree shaded patio watching the sun play peak-a-boo through the leaves, leaving dappled spots of light on uneven pavers, lizards chasing after sometime unseen. A gecko flirting broken brick wall. Gracie rolling and wiggling on her back to get at that one spot she can't reach to scratch. Birds singing a chorus of tunes that is my symphony this morning. An occasional laugh from something a guard said. The sounds of traffic interfere with tranquility is easily ignored. The occasional breeze brings leaves cascade over my head and computer and skitter and tumble across the patio. Its the season when mangos and breadfruit drop to the ground. This easy peaceful feeling is sometimes taken for granted in the day to day hectic world around me. I want to remember this feeling during the chaos. For the days when its unavailable.
Everyday brings changes, expected or unexpected, that needs embracing. To allow frustration lead the way is to let the negative influences invade this peace. To maintain hope amidst the unknown is only a challenge when you don't look through that open door. Life is an adventure best lived. I think I read that somewhere. Adventure: An unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. Todays adventurous activity will be to avoid those falling breadfruits and maintain tranquility in the pool.
