Spring is in the air. Air is fresh and abundant. It’s always there no matter how many breaths I take. I hold my breath to see how long I can be without it. It doesn’t last long…my lungs are (real) happy when I inhale.
Sun seems excited to shower me with its soothing warmth and revitalizing energy. It brings me great joy to stand there and close my eyes. As I feel the sun on my skin, I feel thankful for what it gives me and for everything else that it offers to the entire planet.
Trees are refreshingly green. As I approach one of those green giants, I watch and smell the colorful flowers on the waking branches, among the green graceful leaves. I stand there for a few minutes, immersing myself in this tranquil beauty, feeling thankful for what it offers to me and other living creatures. One more deep breath…
I decide to take a seat on the lush green grass. Little bugs are moving around the ground, doing what they do, undisturbed by my presence. They don’t “bug” me this time. I don’t seem to bother them either. My eyes are closed. As I touch the ground beneath me, my fingers feel the gentleness and softness of various shapes of grass and flowers. The ground is soothingly cool and a little moist.
I feel calm and grounded, connected to the rhythm of the beauty around me. Aware of it all. In a park – in the middle of a hurried city. Thankful for being here. It’s here for me to see it, feel it, smell it, hear it, taste it. Connect with it. Enjoy it with passion.

How grounding. Today, I spent time enjoying the smell of earth in my garden, enriched by coffee grounds. Two weeks ago, I added some coffee grounds to the soil, and now, turning the soil over with my hands, I found lively and active beautifully healthy earthworms, eating the ingredients I gave them, enriching the soil…life is beautiful.
