"What gives you life?" asked Barbara Brown Taylor.
What a great question!
Or, what makes you feel lifeless?
What does your soul need?
What are you thirsty or hungry for?
On Sunday morning I was down sewing and I could not get the 'tension' correct, so I quit. As I looked up I saw sunshine and dark clouds…and I couldn't get outside fast enough. In my pajamas with boots and coat, I grabbed a few Winter quilts and hurried outside.
It grabbed my breath away!
The contrasts were spectacular! Everywhich way I turned, another sight stole another breath. "Oh My God" I said…over and over!
I had a few quilts under my arm, and there were muliple brilliant nature backdrops for which they could rest. I was overwhelmed and infused with energy.
Perhaps the reason the tension was off, was to get me outside. No mistake…
I was overjoyed at the set up that nature had created overnight.
I had intentions of just putting the quilts on the barn, but the woods called to me.
The section was where we pile burnable stuff, like a refuse….and through it I trod.
Animals had cut paths so, it was easy to navigate through the thicket.
It was an opportunity of a lifetime…the correct sky, the right amount of snow, the trees decorated…time of day etc…and, I said yes when I seen just a glimpse through my small basement window. I went outside to see Nature's Art.
Seeing the barn from the burn pile side was incredible. Sometimes all it takes is to look at something from another angle.
The sunshine was behind the quilt that has sunshine behind her. I would see the double image. One on my quilt and one as I walked around being the real life lady in nature's quilt.
I often have blasts of sunshine behind My Lady…a great energy source.
What an incredible feeling…where I, nature and my Art are all playing together in perfect harmony.
This is what gives me life.
It is a reminder how small I am and how large is the Universe and how we are always in sync with each other.
Sometimes it is brilliance of a Perfect Sunday Morning…or when you find the correct wrong definition and your life makes sense.
Nature…and your life are waiting to hear…."What gives you life?"
