Konnichi Wa! Hello- ha! I laughed a little at the end because I felt like it... But, really There was a question posed to me, today, that I'd like to attempt to answer:
"What was the best day of your life?"
"Well", I say, with hesitation; I don't think I have a 'best day'... not a singular day that I can decide upon, but that doesn't mean that I won't be able to answer your question, satisfactorily. As the days go by, and as I interact with different people, in different places, with different situations, ALL THE TIME, I feel like, both time is getting faster, and that the days blend in and out of each other, personally. So, I can see life less and less in segments through the cycle of the 24 hour day, and more and more in segments through the cycle of moment to moment rhythms. Life is but a big, juicy dream to me, a video game, if you will. You know the quote, "Be here now"? I started taking in what that means to me, and it means to be mindful of the present moment. Being present, I am able to soak in some pretty amazing moments, and take away many lessons, big and small from majority of my encounters.
There have been times where I felt that maybe the best day of my life would be when I went to prom, or having a surprise romantic getaway with a significant other. Perhaps, even getting a sweet promotion, where I can make more money, and feel like I can have more access to things I may not have with very little money. But, Naahhh... I don't buy into that any more. Not because I have lived through some of these moments, but because I have taken the time to develop an awareness of the present moment. It is here where, slowly, I started to notice the simple pleasures, the little things, and the hidden positive within the negative.
Now, every day is the best day of my life!! Everything from being able to come back to Suicide Girls after a long time absent, and connect with friends I've made all the way back to 2009, to the simple euphoria of being able to engage in an extended kiss from the sun after a long and temperamental winter... Ahhh, I can't even begin to tell you all the magic that every single day holds, and why I cannot pick just one day to have as the best day of my life.
It was just today that I was able to see a hawk having his/ her dinner for the first time, while I was on my way to visit my sister. This, I felt was a powerful moment, something that I'm not accustomed to, and something that brought me out of my focus on rushing to my sister's house, and into enjoying the simple wonders of nature!
Another really awesome moment, that I feel is noteworthy is that I went to the Island with @dixon, and we shot some photos. I'm really happy I got to see her again. She love what she's doing, and I love that! :D
Here are a few shots we got:
Ahhh! It was so cold on this day, but so worth the chill! We got to warm up, eventually, before the sun went down.
Yaaay!
Life continues to unfold in miraculous ways! This is why I can't bring just one day into this blog, as being the best day of my life... This is the best day, now; this moment. This blog would be way to long if I continued with this, but I'm happy I was able to give you a glimpse at how amazing life can be.
One more amazing moment was this:
This moment, captured, and queued for MR release on April 16! I'm excited about this set! I know it may not seem like it, yet, but it is just as, or more expressive than Your True Nature, and this was also shot by @pumpkin. I'm so stoked for this! Hope you like it, as well! :)
Well, I'm off to bed. I hope everyone has a wonderful day, weekend, and Happy Equinox! (Spring for the northern hemisphere)
Lots of love, peace, and warm hugs!
Luffy!
