Chillin' and Glowworms

There is something to be said for doing absolutely nothing .. otherwise known as chillin' ....
We get so caught up in the busyness of trying to catch up with friends, help out family, juggle jobs and responsibilites that we often forget that it is totally okay to just do nothing - to be still and quiet - to not talk on the phone, to text for hours or go on facebook or watch tv .. but to just sit and stare at the space around us ... to look out to the ocean or to lie under a tree and stare up at the sky.
It is okay just to be.

In Bermuda there is a phenomena that is known as the Glowworms ... 3 nights after the full moon and 56 minutes after sunset is the peak of this ocean mating ritual that brings swirls and streams of phosphorus to the surface as the glowworms mate and die. This is best seen away from manmade light in dark quiet coves. Tomorrow Monday July 18th is the next date but they have already started.

Watching this clockwork timing by nature is amazing ... and worth making the effort to put down all the gadgets, remotes and media cyber junky distractions and just find a quiet spot near the water's edge to sit and just chill while the Glow Worms perform their show.

Here's to "chillin' " - the best way to beat the summer heat and hoping you can find some time to cherish those moments of awe provided for you free by Mother Nature.
