PEACE OF AWE

Dear Friend in Peace,

What brings you awe?  For me it is Mother Nature expressed through clouds, trees, plants, animals, my fellow human beings, the vibrations of my gong Tara, and music of all genres.

When I am in Mother Nature something will catch my eye and depending on the circumstances, I will simply stand and absorb whatever miracle of life has presented itself or grab my camera and take photos. I know which is the right photo by how I feel when I take it. My heart literally expands and a slight shiver of awe flows within my being.

"What does awe have to do with peace?" Anything that connects us in a profound way to another living being or part of Mother Earth or our own hearts carries the added blessing of filling us with peace. When we experience awe, whether it is from being in Nature, listening to music, playing an instrument, singing, chanting, painting, drawing, sculpting, dancing, playing with little children, listening to a friend's joy, observing kindness and compassion... however we experience it, awe silences our busy minds, opens our wise hearts, and brings us home to peace.

Let's make this an enchanted week filled with joyous AWE and blessed PEACE. I look forward to hearing what makes your heart sing in awe and fill with joyous peace.

As you might imagine, all the while I was taking this photo and others of this beautiful Jeweled Blue-eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium xerophyllum), my heart was giggling with gratitude and joy. The colors, shapes, and markings make for a magnificent sight. Every cell in my body felt connected to this majestic beauty and was glowing with peace and gratitude. This plant is in the Carter Tract of the Lake Wales Ridge Wildlife and Environmental Area which is a jewel of Mother Earth and one of the many precious natural lands Ernie and I visited on our recent delightful getaway.

Thank you for choosing peace in your thoughts, words, and actions.
Yours in peace and love always,
Donna
