Renewing the spirit is allowing for an absence, a quietness; a shedding that allows room for growth and expansion. It is about finding beauty in the mundane and not projecting an expectation of what beauty should be. Even a leaf that has fallen from a tree and is slowly breaking down holds its own beauty. Or the way the sun spills into a room creating its own shadow puppetry of silhouetted leaves. Take a minute to observe that beauty…slow down. It is not about rushing to get something finished or demanding a quick fix; it is taking a step back to allow for space, stillness and patience. It is about the process as well as the end result and allowing yourself room to make mistakes in between, not pushing yourself to the point of weariness and exhaustion…slowly…slowly sit and watch and breathe and bathe in the beauty of life renewing the spirit to its full potential.
Sit and watch and breathe and bathe in the beauty of life.
Slowing down…
Sit and watch,
For there is beauty in the mundane.
Like a leaf that is breaking down,
Shedding its structure and
Revealing its skeleton.
