Gratefulness
Gratefulness has become my practice. Compassion is mine to learn. Kindness is a valid way to walk through this life.
Quiet time in the night as my husband sleeps peacefully in our bedroom. I have time to connect with my inner goodness and all that is so beautiful about this life I am living.
Kristi…that was so well written and I could almost feel the earth outside calling me to enjoy some time in quiet there. Thank you.
I notice that when I am rested I can remain in the arena of blessings. I also notice that I do better as an anonymous voice. I appreciate seeing that this is a daily practice that is easier if we take all the good that comes our way and allow it to flow out even to those who might harbor a negativity towards us. Blessings, like water, can carve a path through stone. By passing them on we melt hearts and minds of those we are fortunate to meet on the path.
You know, I have a “retablo” of Saint Martha in my kitchen. She reminds me that all kitchen activities are sacred gestures to bless those who will enjoy the good taste of the food and these activities are work that brings me great happiness. Kitchen noises center me like a prayer and are a connection to God. I am with the Creator in working with my hands.
Person to Soul to God to Humanity, the Planet, All Beings…All the same path…all going in One direction.

I wrote one just after helping our cat give birth to three kittens on 4/12/19
Black bundle of love crying in the pain of labor mewing — purring — ahhh
I had seen this video before and it is just as powerful and heartwarming the second time. I know that looking into the eyes of a deer crossing the property, a feral cat blinking and coming close for food, a coyote in the distance prowling a neighborhood that was once undeveloped land or into the eyes of an injured bird resting in my hand until it is ready to take off, I come in contact with the sacred life force that runs through us all. In that moment, peace enters my heart and I am strength...
