Holy persons draw to themselves all that is earthly.

The earth is at the same time mother,

She is mother of all that is natural,

mother of all that is human.

She is the mother of all,

for contained in her

are the seeds of all.

~ Hildegard von Bingen

inquiry for today~ simple pleasures are your friend….

a simple, loving heart

When in doubt, here are three places to place your attention that can help nourish your spirit, and cultivate the best in you:

Notice beauty: Look and listen for the natural beauty that is present in everyone and the world around us. Linger there and let it in.

Practice gratitude: Turn your attention to anything you appreciate or feel grateful for. Give yourself time to let this register.

Offer kindness: Aim your heart towards kindness. Silently wishing well to yourself and those around you, reaching for the sincerity of the wish.
