Frequently when I am out on my porch, I spend more time looking and listening than reading. Being not only silent but still - meaning not even turning a page - allows me to enjoy watching one of my favorite little Carolina wrens as she sneaks in and out of the holly bush and hops to get a bug not 3 feet from my foot. And all of it makes my spirit overflow in love and appreciation for the magnificent Creator Who did it all.
Dopamine. Really though, we like those quick joys from distraction, achieving little tasks, and drama. It takes real discipline to learn to value the deep, slow joy of time with Yahweh.
I def get this. I sit on my little screened porch and see/hear nothing but sky, trees, birds and animals.
Where I find God every day.
Yes.
Thank you.
