Peace
Sitting in a coffee shop in SLC, I look out the window and see a guy staring at the sky, completely in the moment. He goes back and forth from the contemplative wandering to writing in a notebook, looking completely at peace. Present.
As I observe, I can see myself. I try to be present where I go. I’ve sat at coffee shops many times doing the same. I quickly snapped this while the moment was still there and threw it on my computer with the intention to edit it, meet him, and possibly send it to him if he wanted it.
As I was leaving, I approached him, showing him and talking about what I saw. How peaceful he looked from an outside perspective. I asked if he has a phone I could send it to (if he wants it of course). He said he didn’t have one and that’s probably why he looked so at peace. We had a small laugh and I headed out.
It was exactly what I observed and what I seek in my day to day. I hope that you find your peace and presence today and each day. Take a second to just sit and enjoy the moment. To think about or write down what you are grateful for. There’s a lot going on in our worlds, but to take an intention moment is not only valuable, but is powerful.
