When our complex lives get us running into grooves of constant daily activity, we are prone to miss the bigger things of life. We are apt to forget to look up into the sky and watch the stars at night or even notice that there is a sky-to watch the birds or the clouds, or even notice the beauty of the leaves budding as they are doing now.
Stop to truly listen to the birds. Their singing in the morning is delightful and cheery this time of year. Go out in your back yard or on your balcony and watch the trees swaying in the March winds. Pause for a few moments and notice everything around you. One can not live without his soul taking pause, or as Whitman put it, "Where one can loaf and invite his soul."
We need changes from our duties and cares of everyday life. They are necessary for our health and vibrant living.
More tomorrow...
Look up at the beauty of the stars tonight,
Donna
