Reflections: Seeing Rainbows

By: On: February 29, 2012 at 1:24 pm

When I look to the skies, I often see very magical formations in clouds like the one below that looks a bit like a rainbow colored lightening bolt seen through the the bare trees:

When I see rainbows, my heart lifts up to the heavens in a sort of communion with the universe that fills me with joy.

It’s so important to find joy in the little things in life, as I have noted here in my Daily Affirmation today, and my Food For Thought post yesterday.

We go through life sometimes in a very numb state of mind, in that we forgot to look to the skies for rainbows or stop and smell the flowers.

I learned a long time ago that in being in the moment, you place your heart and soul in alignment with the opportunity to experience and feel joy. To be in the moment takes constant work and practice on living with an open mind and an open heart.

Awakening to joy, seeing rainbows is a great balm to the soul when we learn to look to even the littlest things to fill our hearts and minds with love and gratitude.

The Mind Wanders

By: On: March 31, 2010 at 11:46 pm

The mind wanders
And I find myself traveling to places
I have not been to in a very long time
I catch my breath and breathe a sigh
As I rifle through the empty spaces.
The mind wanders
I watch the hawk glide swiftly on the wind
I let the sun soak deep into my skin
I take few footsteps
As I reach out for the stars.
The mind wanders.
