What are we learning?

What are we learning today, what are we taking in from the world around us? I see life, in every breath.
I use to get sad at people, because of all the dump that came out of their mouths. I was frustrated in my 20's. Always wishing I could find witty people, people who could speak of art and history, politics or the meaning of true love. Now the 30's have arrived, I find comfort in the mundane, in the silliness of it all. I don't care what meaningless falls out of the mouths of those I chose to be around. I have learned that if you stick around long enough you will see their wisdom.
We are all learning, what we need to learn in our own ways. Some are more spiritual, others are figuring out how to maintain a house and a husband. Some can't stop eating or can't keep up with the house work, others don't know who they want to be when the grow up. We are all coming from what we know. Acceptance is such a large part of learning.

Finding it

Finding it, is it really there?  Where is it?  Is it in the trees, or the river, could it be in the sky.  The space between it all.  Is it under a rock or perhaps it's in the crackle of a fire.  The gleam of my lovers eyes, or in the voice of my mother.  I think it's in my heart as an organ and it resides in the moment. To see it all for the first time each time.  Now, is quite a simple yet unexplored territory.  Now is endless, timeless, and full of life.  The past and the present are just quick illusions that lead us to some other place and then we miss it.  An example is getting a message, if you are thinking to much you miss the beauty of the touch. If you are comparing it, you miss it to.  If you are judging it, you are also missing it.  My favorite space to be is outside, but to really enjoy the outdoor world and any world is to let your thoughts go.  To not even speak of the beauty in your head is to really feel it, to be with it. Letting go of the story of you in it, letting go of the mind is to find that space where one truly feels one.
