Nest

Animals carefully construct nests to cradle babies and provide shelter and safety for themselves. They see hatching, and growing, and first flight.

How can you make a space for growth today?

Shelter

An old Irish proverb says that “It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.”

How are others providing shelter for you today? How do (or can) you provide shelter for others?

Home

“Home” means many different things to different people. For some, it is a place of safety. For others, is is a place of pain and trauma. For some, it is a reliable place to turn, and for others it is a place that exists in longing, unattainable in the present.

What does “home” mean to you? How has this meaning influenced your spiritual path?

Texture

Smooth, rough, soft, prickly. The delicate fuzz of a ripe peach, the rough surface of a concrete sidewalk, the comforting softness of your favorite t-shirt. What are the textures you feel today?

Notice texture throughout your day today.
