Shadows

It’s an early morning. The sun gracefully lays grey shadows on my living room floor and creates softened circles and squares of light as it shines through the evergreens outside my window. I hear the melodic honking of geese in the distance and am reminded of the beauty of the world around me. All I can do in these times of despair is remember the earth, the birds, the trees and the buzz of life that is not human. Life carries on each day; let’s make this moment our time to glow. Rather than cast doubts, reach out not with hands but kind words and gestures. These times can be in our control if we choose to not let the chaos rule our minds. Be present, enjoy the beings that are alive and vibrant around us. One breath, one blink at a time. Be grateful for the food you do have, savour each bite as if it were your last, and treasure each memory created as we turn inwards. These are fragile days; let’s reflect the strength we seek from our leaders onto one another and stand together in our hearts and minds. #itsthelittlethings
