The whispering air calls my attention to everything it touches. This is how we come to know ourselves and our surroundings. Though the air touches our hearts as we live in this vast universe, we walk through breathing and not knowing it. Every step is our chance to gather its essence and become more of what we already are. In this park, we are the moment; we are everything. We are the air.

In green places like this it’s as if I can let out a breath I did not realize I was holding; worries drop away and I’m at peace. I am reminded of what I tend to forget, that people are ultimately the most important things in our lives.

The garden is beautiful; it has come so alive with life - flowers blooming, birds singing, sun shimmering, and the little stream running through. What more do we want or need? Nothing - this is the sustenance of the human spirit.

A cold day. Hard to write, but I‘ve been thinking often of the labyrinth and feel it calling me. This is very much a time of new beginning. I walk forth in the spirit of adventure summoning my reserves of faith. My meditation - go forth in joy, look back in peace.

The snow falls, needle sharp upon my skin, momentarily muting the world around.
Covered by a gauzy veil, shapes are softened in a blur of white still and quiet, but for the ruffled cry of the gulls – the snow.

I walk to think…think about life and decisions we make. Sometimes I question my life’s direction…but then as I sit here, I am reminded of a greater leader of my footsteps and realize that if I just stop and listen, I gain the greatest distance.

I have noticed something about life which has come to me through long glances along the seashore. The sea, the water of the world, carries with it all of man's past memories, as well as all that man has to look forward to in the future. Perhaps through looking at the sea, and all of its mystery and enchantment, we can all, combined, make this world a better place.

I am free of abuse today! My wounds are healed today! The bells ring as I write, ring as I write, ring as I write. Today I take back what I should have never given away. My life. My self worth. My joy.
