Engulfed by towering mountains that,
Dwarf all things manmade,
Command undivided attention,
Captivate the senses,
Obliterate distraction, 

I watch with rapt attention,
As the clouds descend on the peak,
Blurring the boundary between dreams and reality, 
Overpowered by the fountain of optimism,
I enjoy the moment where everything seems possible.

Overwhelmed by the beauty and the height, 
Certainly it is a meditation in its own right..

Power loss or gain?

The electricity is gone..

No computer screens beckoning us to do more work,

No cellphones beeping to guilt trip us into responding,

No Netflix series to encroach on our time,

No distractions from household chores,


Wrapped in warm blankets,

In a room lit by candles ,

We enjoy the hot soup in our bowls, 

Engrossed in deep conversation,

Oblivious to the raging storm and plummeting temperatures, 

Ignoring the beeping sump pump warning us of potential flooding, 


The simple joy of living in the moment is unmatched!


I wonder why we choose,

the abundance of distractions and worries,

And the scarcity of undivided attention, 

To satisfy the phantom fear of missing out.
