Are you tired of living at the effect of the weather?

I think I am suffering from weather fear!  I came all the way to Memphis to visit my daughter at Rhodes College.   Along the way I tracked my progress in terms of temperature.  Every degree warmer meant I was closer to my destination! Indianapolis was expecting another foot of snow and I was glad to get out of town.  I now find myself in a hotel in Memphis in the aftermath of an ice storm in a city that does not invest in snowplows or salt for the roads.  I decided to stay at the hotel today and not take a chance on the roads.

Once again……..living at the effect of the weather.

When did I begin to believe that my schedule, my agenda and my comfort was the priority of Mother Nature?

Triple alarm wake-up call!

Thich Nhat Hanh talks about a leaf.  Everything in the world is in the leaf.  Water, sunlight, soil, and even the people that planted the tree or kept it alive and loved.  The energy of a single leaf incorporates all of the energy sources available………………………..even the world-wide-web?

“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

Have I become so attached to the energetic power of the WWW that I have downgraded the importance of nature?

Now I am ready to thank Mother Nature for the nudge to check my agenda at the door and walk in step with the real world around me.
