So, when it's really AWFUL outside and it can't decide whether it's going to snow, or rain, or sleet, or thunder and lighting; when the wind is blowing like there is noooo tomorrow and the sky is gray, I look to the Robin to remind me of what lies JUST around the corner. This little bird KNOWS that it's just a matter of time. He KNOWS that the worms are stirring, just under that last blanket of snow. He insistently hops around on the dry brown grass that peeks through the melting mantle of white, just WAITING for that first stirring that he will feel with his feet. What a skill set this little guy possesses. He hops and then stands, hops and then stands, waiting, feeling, sensing the earthworm moving just below the surface. He's always in the moment...hop... wait... feel... hop... wait... feel. He's never impatient, and he's always aware, watching for cats, or kids, or dogs, or... hop... wait... feel. A great lesson in being in the moment and in mindfulness.
