There is something to be said for getting away from time to time.
Last week, I had the chance to get away by going to a friend’s village, it was a great time of relaxation, strawberry picking (for the first time in my life), walks, and a hunting castle with a tea room. It was a great timewith Miska and her family, they were incredibly sweet to have me over for the night.
The ruralness of it all was a bit striking, there were sheep and chickens, and a garden with all types of fruits and vegetables. It felt like something out of a novel. I wanted to capture the animals on video, because I loved watching them and tried to imagine what it would be like with that as my normal.
Something that hit me while I was there was that it was a time that I really seized, I was enjoying the small things, taking delight in saying “baaa” at the sheep. It was then that I realized that time will pass, inevitably, and it’s up to us how we spend our days.
So, I know that I only have about 10 more days on this side of the ocean, I really want to enjoy them, take delight in the fact that God has given them to me, and most of all enjoy Him. So this is my attempt at carpe diem: seize the day, for you non-latin takers.
Enjoy this video from the village.
