A friend of ours brought us to a place called Deep Cove Vancouver. A mesmerizing place and thanks to Ms. Mahbubeh for bringing us there. Nature has always made me feel where should I place my attention to and always grounded me. That’s why one of the hobbies that I have is walking in nature and meditating and just solemnly looking at the nature with deep sense of gratitude for life.

While walking around I saw a dog just sitting on the grass looking at a large tree, somehow connected in a way as if the ground beneath them both was acting as a circuit connection wire and the two of them were just communication in silence. Nothing was distracting the dog and truly the dog was in the moment. The owner of the dog was on the phone on a bench nearby and was not paying any attention.

But that moment I wish I could get connected to them too. Like the entire nature were in harmony enjoying the ambiance and living at the moment.

The view I saw reminded me of the cartoon I once saw in the internet months earlier (drawing bellow) I remembered how we are preoccupied with different thoughts and agendas that we miss living.

I now could see the same lesson with my both eyes. I told myself why not just like this little cute animal I too sit and connect to the nature.

Sometimes walking in nature with the sense of gratitude uplifts the soul in a way that one would understand the real important things in life may not be what society dictates. We remember we are not here forever but we just have a journey to enjoy.

Nature has always its way of teaching us the lesson. As we walk on the leaves beneath our feet realizing they were once green on the top of the trees just 12 months ago, and now they are going to be replaced by the new ones in couple of weeks, can remind us all that the same faith is going to be for us all.

With that in mind, then there won’t be any space for hatred and negativity but moments to enjoy. It’s one life, one journey, the why wasting it on stuffs that we all know won’t last. What is going to last is the memories we create and leave behind. The marks we leave in this world for people and nature.

So why not just enjoy the ride and remembering to leave something beautiful for others while enjoying the gift of life and the beauty of nature.
