Find The Wonder

“Do not ask your children

to strive for extraordinary lives.

Such striving may seem admirable,

but it is the way of foolishness.

Help them instead to find the wonder

and the marvel of an ordinary life.

Show them the joy of tasting

tomatoes, apples, and pears.

Show them how to cry

when pets and people die.

Show them the infinite pleasure

in the touch of a hand.

And make the ordinary come alive for them.

The extraordinary will take care of itself.”

~William Martin, The Parent's Tao Te Ching: Ancient Advice for Modern Parents

Imagine the beauty of a world where we not only teach our children to do this but we also do it ourselves.

This is what Pause and Presence is all about.

Note that being present and being mindful isn't about being positive.  

It's about full-spectrum living. 

Crying and pleasure.

And noticing and accepting and allowing ALL the feelings.  

That is where the extraordinary comes.

“When we heal ourselves, we heal our children’s children.”
