Sit, Stay, Look

“Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.”― E.B. White

“… with men it’s rush, rush, rush, every minute. I’m glad I’m a sedentary spider.”
“What does sedentary mean?” asked Wilbur.
“Means I sit still a good part of the time and don’t go wandering all over creation. I know a good thing when I see it, and my web is a good thing. I stay put and wait for what comes. Gives me a chance to think.”― E. B. White, Charlotte’s Web

You have time to not feel time, to witness and partake fully in the present moment.
To think, or better, to not think, overthink.
To sit without looking at the god of the screen.
To check one thing less off the list.
To feel the weight and gravity of pause to refresh and renew, reorder.
Be on the lookout for the presence of wonder.
It awaits your attention, stillness, reverence.
Cease and desist.
See all the good things right in front of you.
The best place to be.
The glory of everything.
Here and now.

“It was the best place to be, thought Wilbur, this warm delicious cellar, with the garrulous geese, the changing seasons, the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats, the sameness of sheep, the love of spiders, the smell of manure, and the glory of everything.”― E.B. White, Charlotte’s Web
