A Musing Amma
It is Thanksgiving day, an unusually quiet one, with family strewn around the hemisphere, feasting delayed to another location. I am grateful for the chance to pay attention to the simple gifts that are part of the Presence of the Holy in my life today:
- a visiting English bulldog
- continuous nourishing music
- a new mystery from the library
- texts from loved ones
- a pantry with ingredients for comfort food
- a rain washed sky
- almond & aloe hand lotion
- hand drawn and written Thanksgiving cards from grandchildren
- olive bread
- Scripture that feed and heals
- remembrances on my shelf from loved ones of a lifetime
- ample time
- the aroma of fresh bread
- a labyrinth in the backyard
- dreams that bemuse
- stories from times past
- a sense of calm and peace in knowing that Holy Presence hovers very near
Knowing that my cup over flows, that gratitude takes nothing for granted, I offer my gratitude in grace for each simple gift.
