Heroes Not Zombies

Do you ever sit and just look?

Cats seem to do that a lot. They can sit for ages, seemingly absolutely content, just looking.

I think it’s good to pause now and again. Our days are filled with places to go, people to see, things to do. In fact they can be so full that they fly by while we cruise along on autopilot, our minds filled with thoughts about the future and the past. When we live like that we miss the present.

So it’s good to hit the pause button, to reflect, and to connect.

Sometimes when we pause, we try to make even the pause “useful”. We practice some meditation or some mental exercise to “improve” ourselves. That’s a good thing. But I think it’s also good to just sit and look.

Take a few moments, sit somewhere comfortable, and just notice. Don’t judge what you see. Don’t categorise what you see. Simply notice.

Be more cat!
