    Today’s Shot 160

    Timeless

    Black-Eyed Susan
    Summer Blooms

    What are the best memories made of? Is it campfires and s’mores? What about that fishing trip or family vacation to the beach. Topping root beer with vanilla ice cream and watching the foam rise. Sitting quietly within nature’s gallery for a spell? Screaming and laughing down a steep ride at an amusement park. Grandma’s blackberry pie – and fried chicken. Waking up to the smell of fresh-brewed coffee and sizzling bacon…

    What do all of these things have in common?

    None of these things include checking off our to-do list, or increasing our income and refining our career. There are no business suits or board meetings. No deadlines or status checks.

    I think what all these things have in common is: a joyful leisure. It is all of our senses being in the present moment. It’s the fragrances, laughter, connections, and tastes. It’s watching in quietness – or being surrounded by familiar voices and faces. It’s in the keeping of our traditions and special moments shared. It’s hugs.

    These memories are timeless!

    What is one timeless thing that I can do today?

    Be well my friends!

    “Now my soul has elbow room.”

    -William Shakespeare

    What are my freedoms at home?

    Love is possible only with freedom.

    I am allowed to take the space I need.

    Be well my friends!

    A Mindful Moment

    Mass of small purple bell fliwers

    Thoughtful, we contemplate beauty.

    We notice and are strengthened.

    Here, we are inspired by her splendor.

    The student and the teacher –

    Hold quiet space together

    What lessons will nature teach me today?

    Be well my friends ❤️

    Bloom

    We don’t always smile because the conditions are perfect. We don’t have to frown because it rains … after all, it rains sulphuric acid above Venus. We don’t always find the perfect soil to grow and bloom in. But where are your feet planted? Bloom there.

    Sometimes we find beauty in the most unlikely places. I was waiting for a patient at a cancer treatment center when these blooms caught my eye.

    It’s a place people go to when they’ve received bad news and where they get the treatments that can save their life. Sometimes they have hope and sometimes they don’t.

    My 75-year-old gentleman patient had a bandage around his head, but he had a kind word for the people he met and a smile on his face – a reminder that we may not always like the ground were standing on, but we can bloom right where we’re at, even in the most unlikely spaces.

    Woman of the Lake

    She rises slowly through still waters, and lifting her face she sees. The surface, clearest glass, is like canvas stretched between the trees. Here, the sky and clouds are painted, beside tall shadows hung with leaves.
