TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE


"I'm concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet." 

                                    ~ Joan Jett

Me too, Joan.


Welcome to June, dear friends. The start of a new season is near.

What are you focused on at this time? During these times?

It's a restart time for me. I'm intending to choose wisely and lovingly so that I experience well-being, good health, peace, hope, love, joy...the simple things, my basic needs. 


Hmm. Aren't our basic needs our highest values too?

Let's pause and consider what's most important to us and prioritize that.

With love and wisdom,
Charlene

PS - As you know, "PS" means post scriptum, an afterthought. For Today's Touchstones it also means "Please Stay and read more IF you have the time AND the inclination, a nudge from your heart.

I feel nudged to clarify and share something with you today. I'll use a quote from poet Cecil Day Lewis to say it: 

“I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind... We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.”

I write to really "get it" not only clear in my mind, but also in my heart, my gut, my blood, my bones, my whole being. 

I want to live the things my soul strives for, my highest ideals. For sure I am not there yet.

I think that deep down we all want that.  

Thank you for walking this path with me. I like that you join me on the same trail for a part of each day. I always appreciate your company.
