"I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order." ~ John Burroughs Today, for peace, hope, and healing, let's let the outer world, the natural outer world, soothe our inner world.
With
faith, hope, and love, along with gratitude, and joy, Charlene
Yesterday morning, before being drawn into work and worries, I stepped outside and entered my garden. I followed a bee seeking pollen, watched two young sandhill
cranes feasting on grubs, and noticed a bud preparing to bloom.
Then, seeing my cat resting in the present moment and appreciating birdbath water rippling from the touch of a breeze led me to shift my gaze beyond the garden and look for goodness and beauty near, far, everywhere.
THE SIXTH GIFT IS JOY. May it
keep your heart open and filled with light. - |
