Sunday morning serenity

Sunshine on my shoulders....makes me happy.... :)  This morning I spent a few brief moments outside on the porch with the dog.  As I sat and watched her antics with her beloved rocks, silently an awareness crept into my spirit...The sun is shining!  Funny how at times we get so wrapped up in what's going on or what happens to be in our path and lose sight of the beauty that is around us.  Sure we know it's there but to consciously look and take it all in seems to evade our grateful knowing.  If I can share the feeling it brings me so that others feel it, see it, sense it in every way, I think my everyday will be blessed with great beauty.

Silently the sun whispered to my waiting, winter worn spirit....I am here.  Somewhere in the recesses of my always busy mind, I heard the call and stopped the mental meanderings enough to listen...and to feel.  The beautiful sunlight bestowed upon me a miraculous gift, one I have a difficult time functioning well without.  The sun glinted down on my spirit like a beautifully warm refreshing way-shower, calling my memory into action of lazy summer days reclining in the sun watching the white cotton clouds drifting by.  Oh how my soul rejuvenates within it's golden rays.  Lazily I relaxed my whole being to soak in and commune with the warmth of Ra.  Ever so slowly my soul took a long deep drink from it's beauty and smiled contentedly.  What beauty we are surrounded by everyday as nature gives freely and unconditionally of it's riches.  As I watched, rebellious winter snowflakes drifted around trying hard to announce their presence, and yet I giggled at their dance in the shining rays of the suns light.  Winter has been largely non existent this year and although part of me knows something is grandly amiss, I still take extreme pleasure in the lack of snowfall and bitter cold normally part of Vermont winter.  The sun beckons my spirit with it's chattering uplifting melody and sparks my daydreaming to wander to empty beaches as the waves roll gently onto the sand.  Today I can smell the salt air that is home to my spirit and ever so completely I feel free within natures outstretched arms.   Something this way comes...and it has a warm touch that tenderly caresses my summer dreams.  John Denver's sunshine on my shoulders says "if I had a wish that I could give you, I would give to you, a day just like today."  Today that is my wish for everyone.  A simple wish really, but profound in the giving.  Close your eyes and feel the sunlight shower down on your spirit and know the beautiful Divine gift of nature <3
