I am not sure that I can picture a day "being". However, it is a trait that I admire about the animals and birds that I regularly observe. They aren't trying to be anything but their authentic selves. It is really quite remarkable.
Robyn - That's a great observation, I've noticed that as well. I recall something Thomas Merton said about a tree giving perfect glory to God by being a tree. I wonder what it is about our level of self-awareness as humans that makes it so much more difficult.
