"WHAT DAY IS IT?"

Ahh to drop into today.

To hold an attentive line of consciousness to a specific taste, texture, smell, sight, sound, emotion, or sensation to even one moment within a day...

When our senses attune to that which is within and around, we can become so engaged with life in real-time that we aren't thinking about life's past or future events. We stop thinking about one thing while doing another. Our mind gets to function in a single area of focus and in some ways, to rest; while our body receives the signal to exhale.

The present moment can feel different because we return to a state of clarity or ease, and we slowly restore the way that time moves throughout our day:

Present living doesn't rush.

Being present is often 'easier said than done' but even achieving brief moments of awareness throughout our day enables us to move through life in a more balanced way.

September is a great time of year to strengthen our ability to return to presence - The external world has a way of directing our attention to each coming weekend...onto holidays...and even into a new year ahead.

"IT'S TODAY"

With Sky Pond's closure on the horizon, we would especially love for you to stay present with us and enjoy the ways which we can all come together until then. Several retreats are providing tools to live more mindfully, and making the time to rest and recharge will build one's resilience to any sense of urgency from the outside world.

"MY FAVORITE DAY"

For the moments when life feels too fast, or the mind is overwhelmed, step outside, notice what you notice, and exhale. Nature has a wonderful way of engaging our senses to return to the present moment, and Sky Pond is here through 2026 for you to relax and do just that.

May time shared by the Pond make it favorite day!

We look forward to seeing you soon ~

In Love & Light,

Sean & Miriam Anderson
