Wow! What else can I say about our beautiful world today? It’s gently snowing, -20C and absolutely stunning. I have to admit I’m grateful I don’t have to drive around in it but walking around our neighbourhood and through our eco park takes my breath away.

There’s always something to appreciate no matter what’s going on in the world and I have to admit I am feeling so very grateful for everything in my life today. I love days like this where I get to spend time writing and contemplating and praying and reading and being present to the wonders inherent in every moment. It truly is from the place of stillness and silence where I let go of all my thoughts about myself, the world, other people and everything else that I come to most appreciate the world exactly as it is.

Absolutely nothing needs to change outside myself to get to this place; that is what I call true freedom. I may not be able to be here all the time of course but even that makes it just that much more wonderful!

Namaste
