Magical movements

Sometimes life is about the big important events, other times it’s about the little things and just making memories.

Tonight while waiting for takeaway I spotted a little wood across the road that was calling to me. I made my way in and found an old dry branch on the ground to sit on and started to meditate.

I’d only been relaxing for a couple of minutes when I heard twigs cracking. Thinking my peace had been broken by someone walking their dog I was surprised when I opened my eyes to find a baby deer passing by. It eyed me and I bobbed my head in respect, it was her wood not mine. She nodded back to me and carried on past.

I waiting till she left, leaving me with an amazing sense of peace. Then my timer went off and I had to run to pickup my food.

I could have sat in my car, played on my phone, talked to the others waiting. But one simple split decision led to magical memories. It’s a well used phrase but live every minute of your life. You only get the one.
