STRIKING UNIVERSE

What is life about, I often wondered for years, gazing out my window at the ever changing scene. I could spend hours just sitting out on our deck with all the beauty that surrounds me. We get to witness beautiful tapestry of light weaving its way into, through and around everything around us, through the trees, bouncing off the lake…..

When Kevin and I head to work each morning, we bask in the glory of God’s world. There is a melody played throughout all of His creation and we are part of that song and dance of our life. It is up to us to take the time to ENJOY it and LISTEN to it.

This morning was no exception to the wonders of nature. As I walked out into our garage and opened our door, the neighbor’s dog howled. It made me stop in my tracks and think about Stoli. Stoli used to howl at the trains. I told Kevin, Stoli was trying to say “good morning” to us. :)

As we drove further into work, we were thrilled to spot “our” beautiful deer near the rode. He walked up to the road, looked at us, waited until we were almost upon him and then trotted off into the woods. This is not the first time he has graced us with his appearance. Again, another “good morning” to us. :)

And although squirrels can be so silly, crossing the road in front of cars, this particular road brings out a lot of them, I can’t help but think they are adorable. I am always hoping that they make it across the road safely….. :) AND just the other day, there was a beaver sitting on the side of the road (in the grass area) chomping on a nut. It was the cutest thing. :)

My desire is for peace and I strive to create that in my life wherever I am even if it is on my way to work! To me each animal in our life brings lessons, challenges, and the purity of their love and spirit, whether they live under our roof or we meet them on the side of the road. What a gift we give to each other and to ourselves when we allow ourselves to enjoy the moment. :)
