What I Love
Last night at Sacred Circle, we did a wonderful exercise. After a brief meditation, we took out pen and paper and spent about 10 minutes simply writing what we love. Here’s what I wrote:
What I Love
I love the shadows and textures of the Sonoran desert
I love the play of colors and light at sunrise and sunset
I love the song of a coyote chorus serenading outside my window
I love the gentle calm of a horney toad sitting placidly at my feet…making eye contact
I love the song of the wind as it rushes over the mountains
I love the comforting warmth when my little dog drapes herself across my lap to sleep
I love the soft purr in my ear when the cat snuggles in my arms and rubs his head against my chin
I love the beauty and joy that come when a circle of friends and I raise our voices in song
I love the spontaneous harmonies we weave together… a celebration
I love the warmth and healing that flows through us all when we join hands in a circle
I love the love that flows from heart to heart when we hug to say good night
I love sharing energy and healing… be it with an individual or a crowd
I love nurturing people whether it is with healing or with food
I love the creativity of writing and cooking and making music… of spontaneously flowing into dance
I love twirling and swaying and flowing into the music… feeling my body become a part of the music
I love the wags and kisses from puppies I meet on our walks
I love laying on the earth at the base of a Sahuaro and breathing the energy in through my heart and then returning the healing when I exhale love through my heart back into the earth
I love sitting in a field during a meteor shower and being bathed in star dust
I love wrapping my arms around a horse, rubbing her belly and having her return the hug by wrapping her neck around me
I love chocolate and cheesecake and tart, red cherries
I love fresh vegetables- crisp and clean
I love being part of a community
I love the friends who see me for who I really am… and love me anyhow
