The Gift

 

Life is a gift, it is for me to learn to receive.

Along the path of life so often forgotten,

is gratitude.

When we see through the eyes of

gratefulness, the world is our oyster.

Many blessings come simply by shifting the 

focus of our attention from lack

to thankfulness

Embrace of Mother Earth

As a sauna of gentle tropical mists,
the earth mother embraces me
Absorbing her sweet moisture,
Inhaling the scent of wet earth,
I am calmed, healed, anointed with grace.
My body gently melts into her:
…. Remembering my own essence
…. Recognizing the gratitude
…. Replenishing my soul
