THE MOMENT OF SOLITUDE

Source

In a meadow, surrounded by the swaying grass,the breeze blew gently through the meadow carrying the scent of wild flowers and the sound of rustling leaves. Mary sat on a rock, her eyes fixed on the pages of her book.
She was lost in the world of the story, oblivious to the world around her.
As she read, she imagined the characters and thier adventures as her mind wandered.

As the sun began to set, the sky turned a soft shade of pink and orange. Mary's book cast a shadow over the page and she realized it was getting harder to read.
She looked up, taking in the beauty of the meadow in the fading light. A sense of peace and contentment washed over her, this moment of solitude was a welcome respite from the busy side of life. She closed her book, savoured the peace of the moment before turning to the world beyond the meadow.

Later that night, Mary laid on her bed, her mind drifted back to the meadow and the moment of solitude she had experienced. She felt a sense of gratitude for the peace which she had found there.
In the quietness and stillness of the night, she thought about the value of taking time to time to slow down and savour the simple moments in life.
She planed on returning to the busyness of daily life the following day, but she would carry the memory of her moment of solitude in the meadow.
She finally drifted off to sleep, contented in the knowledge that she had found a place of peace within herself.

The next day, Mary went about her daily routine but something had changed within her. She carried herself with a sense of calmness and peace and she found herself savouring every moment throughout the day.
As she walked to work, she noticed the way the sunlight danced on the water of a nearby pond.
After work, she returned home that evening.
She took a moment to pause and appreciate the beauty of the sunset as she realized that she had learned something important from her moment of solitude in the meadow.

From that day, Mary began to incorporate more moments of stillness and peace into her daily life. She started waking up earlier than usual and in the evening she took a walk around the meadow to clear her mind and reflect on the day.
As she made these little changes, she found herself feeling more centered and grounded even in the midst of a busy life.

Slowly, Mary's life began to change for the better as she felt more present and mindful.
Her sense of presence and mindfulness also started to have a positive impact on her relationship. She found herself more engaged and present in conversation with her family and friends. When disagreement arose, she was able to respond with more patience and understanding.
She began to feel a deeper connection with the people in her life and she felt more fulfilled and contented.
Overall, she never forgets to once in a while visit the great meadow where her newly found peace started.
