Lesson of Mindfulness

Looking at the backyard down through a window 
Brought a smile on my lips watching the scene below

A squirrel was sniffing around some bushes
Another one was scurrying up and down on oak tree branches

A humming bird was drinking nectar from lantana flowers
A purple colored dragonfly was hovering around purple blossoms of crape myrtle

Pairs of house finches were chirping loudly in great excitement
A nuthatch and a titmouse also joined the melody with their own distinctiveness
 
A thought came to my mind of mindfulness
Isn’t it just taking time to observe the present moment with awareness?
