Spend more time living and less time saving up to live

I was stopped short this morning as I picked my way over the dunes to the beach by the beauty of the image that was presented to me of seagulls flying silhouetted against the softly orange-lit popcorn clouds scattered in a soft blue sky. This morning everything was incredibly beautiful, the shapes of the bluebottles washed up on the shore in between the bubbles of foam, the light in the clouds reflecting on the water, the texture of the sea, the dark brown foamies from the tannin-stained water of the vlei... and I realised that it's this way everyday: something beautiful to see in everything, if our mind will allow us to receive it.
