Pure delight emanated from him…a lovely squirrel. Not a care in the world. As I watched him happily munch on a camillia blossom, I had a wondering.
How often do I experience pure delight? I realize I tend to view life through a serious lens…responsibility and worries can overshadow opportunities for joy.
I suspect that our true nature is light-hearted and filled with delight. It’s so evident in young children and animals at play.
Perhaps they instinctively know things we adults have long forgotten. Through their lens of innocence and wonder, they open the door to creativity and magic.
Perhaps it's time for me to re-examine my relationship with delight and joy.
Something to ponder…inspired by a lovely little squirrel.
