If you live in a cold or drought-ridden climate it can be hard to imagine in February that the world will ever be lush and green again. All you can do is keep walking along the path in the companionship of the memory of running water and green trees.
What “green” parts of your life sustain you with their memory?
If you happened to be a tiny dog at a Gay Pride event, you would definitely need a rainbow bandana. A favorite blazer might give you the confidence to enter an important meeting while the right shoes set the tone for an evening out.
What item of clothing sets you up to be your best in a particular setting?
It’s hard enough to find your car in a parking lot, let alone one bike in a tightly packed field of bicycles. Amongst the billions of people in the world, it can be harder still to find yourself.
How do you keep tabs on where you left your soul?
Have a seat. Just rest for a moment and have a look around at the trees and the hills that stretch out before you.
Which calls to you more at the moment—the chance to rest in beauty or the drive to find out what lies beyond the distant hills?
Sometimes what is most special and unique in our lives becomes that way only through our choosing. Whether a beloved dog or a spiritual practice, things become precious not just from who or what they are, but also because of our act of choosing, our decision to give ourselves over time to what we have chosen.
Who or what have you chosen to make precious in your life?
