Beings

What you are now is what you have been; what you will be is what you do now.

~ The Buddha

I think a lot of times that kids are more about doing than being. When you think back on your childhood what do you remember most? I remember the things I used to do. Mostly.

However, I do remember some times when some of us would lie on our backs in the grass of someone's yard and look up at the clouds. Sometimes we would look for shapes, but sometimes we would just be. Resting. Watching. Listening to birds. Feeling the wind. 

It was best if we were lying on our backs in the yard of someone who didn't have a bunch of dogs, as I recall.
