I truly love this message and hope people take heed! I struggle mightily with our country's overabundance, impatience, and need for instant gratification. I have an elderly neighbor who simply sits in his front yard when the weather is nice and makes intermittent small talk with passers by. No phone, nothing. I'm jealous of his ability to do this but it also inspired me to set aside 30 minutes every day, during which I simply sit on my front porch and fully immerse myself with whatever is happening in the moment. Maybe it could be called meditation, but I'm not trying to force my brain into any particular state, just simply passing time without expectation. Thanks for the wonderful read!
