"When the world feels heavy, go outside. Everything seems
smaller when you're standing under the stars."
Happy Gardens
Cooler weather approaches and we throw open our windows and bundle up in our favorite evening chair. Treasured quilts reappear and we welcome socks upon our feet. While all of this is fine and good, we must never become so cloistered that we do not maintain our connection with our surrounding world.
Whether we walk for miles or stick our nose out the door once per day, it is imperative that we breathe in the outer world. To feel the air silently move across our face and hear the birds singing their song, awakens sleeping parts of the self. When in the darkness of night we stand before the massive sky, our eyes turn above.
The inner connection with the Divine strengthens our life experience, just as the outer awareness of the spirit in nature nurtures our soul. The blanket of dark sky spreads above us, dotted with sparkling stars. Each one glimmers reflecting encouragement, tenderness, and a gentle reminder that we are all one.
