Forest Bathing

Some years back, an old friend shared about the wonders of forest bathing.  Well, it seems that I've been doing that for a long time.

Just never called it forest bathing.

Being mindful with Nature, being in touch with sights, smells, sounds, and touch of Nature has been part of me since childhood.

But the reminder to be conscious of every step, sound, smell, sight, and touch helps to bring one back to being part of the greater universe.

Go back to Nature but with a more conscious mind.  And be aware of all around.

Sunrise

Always great to rise with the sun and catch the first rays, especially over water.
Reminds me of the quiet of a day of possibilities.

Knowing that in a while, the harsh realities of the day will hit. But holding on the hope that things will be all right in the end.

That is what is known as Faith.

Arise!

Lent is coming to a close soon.

A reminder that out of the ashes, glory arises.

Out of the mud and scum of the pond, rises the water lily in its splendor and beauty.

Turbulent Waters

Turmoil. Troubles.Turbulence.

The troubled soul needs to find solace within the turbulence.

Somewhere in the midst of everything, we will find quiet comfort.
