For the remainder of the month of November, I will post a photo (or perhaps a few) each day that I DO have internet access, of something that invited me to pause and lifted up gratitude, joy, perhaps a quiver of awe in my heart the moment I stopped to be present and really see. By reviewing the image/images to share with you, the experience is engraved deeper in my consciousness, strengthening a reserve of gratitude and goodness to savor and draw upon when gloomy weather outside echoes inside, or vice versa. For me this is a devotional photographic journey for developing the soul quality of Hakarat Hatov…recognizing the good, a Jewish spiritual practice for cultivating gratitude.
I look forward to receiving your written patches of thanks for this year's:
5th Annual

ReplyDeleteMakes me think about the power behind small things. We sometimes overlook the power of small :)
ReplyDeletei agree with lori...we tend to overlook the power of small...and it needs often patience to see these little seeds bloom and develop - and we live in such an impatient time...ugh
ReplyDeletePerfect - patience rewarded :)
ReplyDeletereminds me of the parable of the mustard seed..how something so very small can grow to produce greatness
