So today when I was gardening I was struck by the fact that I was massaging the ground. I was working through the soil and incorporating soil and dirt...and digging and planting. It was the weirdest feeling to work with the earth...I felt really connected to the earth in my own journey. We have to put work into our lives, we have to kill weeds, we have to plant, we have to water, we have to care for it...I also understood my friends who love love their gardens, they plan their vacations around the garden. I wanted to spend all of my time with my little plants and see how much they will have grown...
I feel like I'm able to catch the slightest glimpse of how God must adore creation. There's no way to completely understand it of course...but I was just so happy outside and really wanted to be happy with the journey that I'm on...our journey is ongoing and we have to be fully present....what have you done today to be fully present to yourself?
PS I'm getting my haircut on Thursday :)
