unscheduled meditation

The neighborhood creek is largely dry but there is a broad shallow puddle just past the dam. I took a break from my walk and sat above, looking at the water and the leaves collected at the water's edges. I stayed longer than usual, in a quiet little peace, the temperature mild, a frog and a few birds making noises. I felt a little guilty - why was I staring so long in one spot? When I first sat, my body was still, with my mind still active. After awhile, both my body and mind were still, were one, and that is when I began to see.
