Sometimes I wonder. It's that quiet voice that tells me to take a deep breathe, and surrender my cares. Everything will work out. Have faith, do what you have to do. It is that peaceful feeling when I look around and marvel at the beauty of nature, appreciate the bounty from Mother Earth. It brings serenity to my life. It's that sense of accomplishment when I finish a project, no matter how mundane, like raking the leaves and see a clean driveway. Or that feeling of elation when I see my article accepted and published; or as simple as cooking a great meal. It is that sense of wonder as I watch flowers bloom, listen to the birds, or lazily watch the clouds or marvel at the beauty of a rainbow. When things are hairy and scary, it's that feeling of strength and courage, knowing that I can handle it. Life is full of challenges and surprises, it helps foster growth. I understand that I will not always make the right choices or decisions. When I get mad at my loved ones, ready to invoke the riot act, I feel confident that all these irritations will come to pass and love conquers all. I hear God all the time, but I have to slow down, really slow down and listen. Do you hear God? |
