Turning towards the light

It was raining cats and dogs when I left my house this morning. We need the rain so I was feeling grateful. With water restrictions my grass looks pretty sad. My mind brought up the fact that when I got to work I would have to get my computer out of the car and it would get wet. Needless worry I thought.

I have a lovely 10 minute drive to work crossing over a small curved bridge. I love the view there sometimes the local college has their rowing team out for practice. On my way home the sun sets in that direction and if my timing is just right the picture is good enough for a post card.

So today just as I crossed that bridge the rain stopped and I was facing the most beautiful light. No worries today.

Finding time for peace

I had a business appointment today which made me drive by my favorite outdoor meditation place. Unfortunately I did not have time to stop today and it is extremely cold but it did make realize the beauty that is put before us each day. It is difficult for me sometimes to see what is offered to me as gift. If only I could acknowledge the beauty by being present every day. Today I was paying attention and found peace.
