"Imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean,
just like the sun." - Don Miquel Ruiz
The real you is also like the the sky, the stars, and the moon.
The real you are full of beauty, wonder, love, and dreams.
We may not imagine as much or as magically now as we did in our early years, but we are still often, almost always, imagining. We may be replaying past experiences,
picturing what might come, playing positive and negative "what if" scenarios, pretending this and that, and visualizing desired outcomes.
Let's use our gift of imagination wisely and well today
Let's imagine good things, for ourselves, our loved ones, our country, and the world.
Let's appreciate nature today too. Try to remember how you felt in nature as a child and open your heart to renewed wonder,
reverence, hope, and joy.
Today's touchstone photo was taken last night while I was on a walk with a friend. The star studded sky was awesome. Venus was especially brilliant.
Take at least a few moments to be in nature today or this evening. Feel the sun, or the wind, or rain, or snow on your face. Watch a bird or a squirrel. Look at the moon. Listen, smell, and be touched. Listen within too. Wisdom often speaks when we are connected with the natural world. We may hear guidance about how to best be in this world
now.
With love and hope,
Charlene
