Normal?

Trudi posted this quote on her Facebook page....and it made me stop and think.  

"Only when normal things are not normal anymore do we realize how special normal things are."  unknown

I will say....I do like what I call everyday normal: no surprises or problems to face...no big decisions to make...and plenty of time to putter. 

But maybe abnormal is really the new normal....and we need to remember to make time to putter and dance. (see the poem at the end)

Spring was in the air today....and it was a delight to be out for a couple of walks.

It was foggy this morning....so most of the trees and shrubs were covered with water droplets.  It was magical.

 

This particular view was Strikingly Pleasing.  The hazy sun through the distant trees....the small pine (shaped like a water droplet by the way) next to the perfectly placed rock...alongside the towering birch and tall pines.....made me stop in my tracks.

It's hard to tell....but the birch branches were covered in water droplets reflecting the sunlight.....it was an everyday normal kind of magic.

And another beautiful poem came to my inbox...this time from Patty. It's just the message I needed to hear today.

I sometimes forget

that I was created for Joy.

My mind is too busy.

My Heart is too heavy 

for me to remember

that I have been

called to dance

the Sacred dance of life.

I was created to smile

To Love

To be lifted up

And to lift others up.

O'Sacred One

Untangle my feet

from all that trap

Free my soul.

That we might 

Dance

and that our dancing 

might be infections.

Rumi
