This is your own home
Apr. 22nd, 2008 06:33 pmOur neighbor's magnolia tree is in bloom, and it is the most beautiful thing in the world. For this moment, at least.
Today, it's earth day, and though it's become a bit band-wagon-y of a day, it's still worth remembering that this place is our home. (Thank you, dalai lama, for that thought. Would you burn the furniture in your own home?)
On earth day, please take 3 seconds out of your life and ponder one beautiful thing. It could be anything.
Here are some of mine: the smell of spring in the air; the green taste of just-picked asparagus; the miracle of half-shriveled flower bulbs, planted when they were past all hope, now shooting up flowers.
How about you?
(And, in relationship to the subject line, another thought that always gives me pause: The place where you are standing is holy.)
