Monday the Katy Prairie Conservancy provided an educational tour of our prairie on the corner of Holcombe and Fannin. They are very pleased with its progress as a giant greenhouse experiment to watch plants; insects and animals that made up the Texas native prairie ecosystem come back to “aliveness”. Mesmerized by a butterfly it reminded me of Tolle’s description of aliveness in his book Stillness Speaks, where he describes aliveness as the entire being that you feel, a presence in which you don’t need to think. Shifting throughout your day from thinking to aware presence opens a doorway for a deeper sense of aliveness unclouded by thought.
