Spiritual Path

It is remarkable to me how easy it is for me to be pulled off of what I consider to be a spiritual path, meaning living in the present, feeling connected to everything and focusing on love and compassion.  A moment of TV or considering money or material possessions is enough to draw me into a world of fantasy, future and past.  Distractions are very compelling!  Today was a very fine example of first being pulled off and then doing something to bring me back to spiritual fitness.  I spent a good part of the morning preparing tax information and then a large part of the afternoon hiking with Maria and communing with nature.
