What is your longer term intention, my loves? Is it peace, is it love – or, simply the cherishing of moments in which happiness has graced us with her presence?

So often our days are filled with temporary obligations – take out the trash, walk the dog, make sure all the bills get paid. In time, it becomes our ‘cadence’ – marking a pace louder than any heart might share.

In doing so, our spiritual direction becomes clouded; we lose the context of our being.

“When despair for the world grows in me,” shares Wendell Berry, “and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things…I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”

He knew what so many have difficulty expressing; that no matter the difficulty our direction is clear. We endeavor for the purpose of life’s much higher things; we strive for a peace within.

To lie amidst the wild things, to watch the grasses grow. And, without concern for the ‘how’ or ‘why’; rather, simply for the cause of being.

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
