Praised be my Lord for our Mother the earth, that
which doth sustain us and keep us, and bringeth forth
divers fruit, and flowers of many colours, and grass.
- Saint Francis of Assisi
May the food we are eating make us aware of the
interconnections between the universe and us, the
earth and us, and all other living species and us.
Because each bite contains in itself the life of the sun
and the earth, may we see the meaning and value of life
from these precious morsels of food.
- adapted from Thich Nhat Hanh
I read these centering thoughts after a very busy and productive day.
I am weary now, grateful for this day,
and grateful for the slowing down and centering of these thoughts
at the end of this day.
When I begin and end my day in a centered prayerful way,
I find myself more balanced and connected
during those difficult moments that may
cross my path along the way.
The miracle of the inter-independence
of all living beings is more than my pea brain can ponder ...
but, taking a moment to receive that awareness;
fills me with gratitude,
surrounds me with peace,
and deepens my trust in the ONE who has ALL POWER.
Sweet sleep ~
