One of my favorite activities in the entire world is going to the local farmer's market. I don't mean the kind with pony rides, inflatable kiddy jumpers and new items made in China set out for resale. I mean a hard-core farmer's market with local everything.
Santa Cruz, California, my hometown, is the hot-spot for all things alternative, hippy, fringy, organic and healthy.
The market has become a Saturday morning ritual with my Dad. We get up early and drive to the local community college to see what's in season, going out of season and be a part of the local commerce. We bask in the richness of smells (the scent of fresh strawberries is prominent these days), sights and sounds.
We see free-range eggs, quiche, fruits, vegetables, canned fish from local fishermen, vibrant flowers, tea leaves, orchids, olive oil, young plants, herbs, and so much more!
One of the reasons I love this experience so much is it reminds me to be fully present. I purchase today what I need for today. Tomorrow will certainly come and I'll take care of that business then, but for now, thinking only of today allows me to enjoy this moment to the fullest.
