I think that we would look at our life a little differently if we could put aside all of the events and emotions that weigh down each day and simply sit\u2026bask in the sun\u2019s light, from beginning to end, without a thought to anything else beyond this day.  If we could take one day, and view it from the perspective of the sun, the sky, and the water, we would see how insignificant our struggles are and how vast and beautiful the sky and the earth below it.  In these moments we might receive clarity of thought and pure joy in knowing that each day is new and we are blessed beyond imagining by the gifts of the earth and the sun in the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not meant to oversimplify your life.  Of course our lives are full\u2026 full to the brim with daily worries and concerns, blessings and frustrations.  But sometimes I think we place a little too much importance on these things. Nature has a way of reminding us that regardless of what is going on in our lives, the sun will rise in all it\u2019s glory, the day will continue, and eventually night and a time of rest will follow. So I encourage you to pause in your busy life for a short time and look at the world through new eyes. See the beauty and the simplicity that nature provides all around you.  Find ways to invite this simplicity into your everyday life.  I find that this can help to calm down the busyness of life and put these things into perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun\u2019s Journey<\/strong>\nBy Krista Longeway\n\nIt begins\nwith streaks of orange and hints of pink\npeeking over the horizon,\nthen spreading across the sky\nto reveal the deep blue beneath,\nfilling the whole world with light.\nAs it rises\nit brings forth the warm smells\nof sea and sand,\nof green growing things and warm earth.\n\nIt sits at midday,\nclouds pass by, then blow away\nin wisps of white,\nleaving the sky clear,\nit\u2019s deep blue fading to mist \nwhere it touches the distant mountains \nand the water beyond.\nBirds, silhouetted against the sky,\ncall to one another as they ride the currents of the wind.\nBelow, waves crash against the rocks,\ntrees dance in the breeze,\nand the day moves forward\nwithout a care in the world\nother than the journey from east to west.\n\nSlowly, as the sun makes its way across the sky,\nthe shadows become longer\nand an orange glow fills the air.\nA last greeting\nbefore it melts into the horizon again.\nIn a burst of colour, it sinks towards the water\nuntil it is gone\nand the stars come out in its place,\npromising another new day is on the way.\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
