Is it enough to be you, as you are right now?  Is it enough to be present and not consumed by doing?  Is it enough not to need anything?

This video by “The Mrs” examines self image, and the book I just finished, “The Map of Enough” ponders what it may look like to be satisfied with now – with where you live, what you have and who you are…

As the New Year of 2015 moves closer, I am examining this concept of enough.

Thankful for all that is and being present to this gratitude is enough more and more of the time.

The fullness comes from the inner gifts, never from outer appearances.  From the wildness and completeness of nature, and not from those things that are contrived.  From present moments and not busyness.   From awareness.  From taking a long sweet breath of life, as it is, now.
