A busy morning, as soon as I’m out of bed. Pancakes for the special one. Clean up, computer work, it’s a bustle and rush of activity and busy day ahead. I feel a bit knotted up in my gut. But then I am out the door with Charlie in the rain-soaked morning. I immediately quieted, all over, inside and out. My breath relaxed. I entered the here and now and relaxation and focus of the natural elements and beauty around me and the worries of the day fell away. Tiny beauties, the dogwood blooms, made me so happy. The current on the river, caught in a flash. The happy May ferns with their fiddled heads in the brook. I was all in. We had a restful and attuned to peace walk. I had my Ukrainian group and realized next week is our one year anniversary. Frank came home and we had time to chat. Tonight, my Aim for Astonishing group, always so moving, just right. And now, back in the river and brook tonight, I feel happy again at the nourishments the morning moments brought me then, and bring me now.
