A SPIRITUAL WALK

HAVE YOU EVER WALKED ALONG A GARDEN PATH?

EVER WATCHED A BIRD DOING WHAT IT HAS TO SURVIVE?

DO YOU STOP AND WATCH A BUTTERFLY AS IT TAKES TO THE AIR?



THE LAST TIME I WAS AT MY GRANDMOTHERS HOUSE,

I HAD A CHANCE TO DO JUST THESE THINGS.

AS YOU WALK IN HER YARD, YOU COULD SEE ANYTHING.

A BIRD, CAT, BUTTERFLY, IF YOU ARE LUCKY,

YOU MIGHT EVEN SEE A DEER OR MAYBE EVEN A FAWN.

BUT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE ON WHAT I WOULD CALL

A SPIRITUAL WALK,

TO DO THIS, MAKE SURE THAT YOUR MIND IS CLEAR,

OPEN TO MESSAGES FROM LITTLE THINGS.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT FORM A MESSENGER MIGHT TAKE.

COULD BE ANYTHING, SO KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN,

LOOK FOR THEM EVERYWHERE YOU GO.....

I agree. Any walk can become meaningful if we can just watch around us and breathe in the Beauty. I mean that literally. I do try to breathe it all. On my good days, that is. Somedays I just totally blow it. I'll drink a few beers or make a hurtful comment. But what I meant to say is that I know what you mean about keeping your eyes open. That's what it's all about, right? Thanks

You've opened my eyes Shown me the way Under your sunny skies On this special day. On our spiritual walk I've learned the key, Hush now, let the garden talk Listen and let the path lead me. Nanook
