“Can there be a benediction of deer on a chilly spring morning? I think so. Their otherworldliness stops the day in its tracks, focuses it on the hypnotic beauty of nature, and then starts the day again with a rush of wonder. There is a way of sitting quietly and beholding nature which is a form of meditation and prayer, and like those healing acts it calms the spirit.”― Diane Ackerman, Cultivating Delight: A Natural History of My Garden
“There is a serene and settled majesty to woodland scenery that enters into the soul and delights and elevates it, and fills it with noble inclinations.” – Washington Irving
To reawaken.
Daily practice to master.
A pause to look longer.
A breath to anchor.
Thin spaces to broaden.
Magical things await.
Just outside the confines of old thoughts, stale rules, endless “to do” lists.
To be filled and made new.
Awe, wonder, delight await your attention and tending.
“The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to sharpen.”― Eden Phillpotts
