Tend the Earth

What do you do for the earth?  

Do you recognize the beautiful world around you?

Do you take the soil in your hands and rend it and prepare it for new life?

Do you find the moments to breathe in the crispness of the coming spring?

We've spent the last several weeks in the yard.  It's an activity I've found that lights up Jenelle's spirit.  We've walked through the garden area of Lowe's and she smiles a huge smile, usually with a cart full of color that will soon be planted, tended.

I may not share the love of this level of gardening or planting, but I do feel more at home when the sun is above my head - the fertile greens are around me and the hills are rolling ahead and behind of me.

I'm most at peace when I can walk in nature.  To feel my spirit rise with the winds rushing through the trees is a place where many of the stresses of life disappear for a time.

And watching her plant the many flowers that paint a rainbow throughout our yard let's me know that she has a place as well to let go and breathe.

Tend to your Spirit.  It will grow on you!
