"Sense the blessings of the earth in the perfect arc of a ripe
tangerine, the taste of warm, fresh bread, the circling flight of birds, the lavender color of the sky shining in a late afternoon rain puddle."
- Jack Kornfield
Let's give thanks for earth's
riches and for the gift of our senses.
What are some your favorite nature sights, sounds, scents, tastes, and touches?
A few of mine are seeing sunlight dancing like water stars on ocean ripples, the scent of lilacs, fall foliage at its peak, migrating geese honking as they fly
overhead in a V formation, Oak Creek Canyon, the smell and taste of a just-picked fresh tomato. Just thinking about these things lifts my spirits
Wishing you abundant blessings of beauty and joy today!
With love,
Charlene
