Watch More Sunsets

April 14, 2014 6 Comments

A few weeks ago I led a weekend workshop at Esalen. It was wonderful! On Saturday evening after our dinner break, one of the workshop participants suggested that we delay the start of our evening session so we could walk out on the deck and watch the sun go down over the Pacific Ocean. We did and it was spectacular.

This sunset watching experience reminded me that I don’t often watch the sunset. There are so many incredible, amazing, and beautiful things happening around us all the time – if and when we choose to pay attention to them. In this week’s video blog, I talk about how we can take more time to “watch sunsets” in our lives all the time.

Feel free to share your thoughts, insights, or questions about this with me and others on my blog.

    I watch as many sunset as I can and perceive them as gifts. A reminder we lived that day. I enjoy the silence I experience after the sun goes down, there is that time which it’s not night time yet and it’s not day time any longer, there is a quietness and peace, and I like to linger there, it is a time for gratitude.

    Great message Mike. I stopped doing email and watched your video. I’m done working tonight and I will go spend some time with my wife. Thanks for reminding me of what’s really important!
