thoughts
We had another snowfall early this morning!! Snow always seems to bring me back to calmness. I suppose it’s due to the surroundings which are simply beautiful and peaceful. It had me thinking about the time I take, or lack thereof, to really seek out my connection with the earth. Do I honor myself in a manner that is honoring the forces of nature that created me, spending time in the quiet listening to my needs? Such a difficult concept to grasp but I am trying to get there. Am I growing enough of my own food, having extra to share? Do I recycle enough? Are my choices at the market those of a conscience effort to reduce my usage in unnecessary packaging, and are they choices that will truly make a difference. I’m sure I can do better at the packaging but YES, my choices are making a difference. Perhaps not when compared on a larger scale but a difference in knowing that my choices are being taught to my children and anyone else who asks why I buy brand Z instead of the very popular brand X. For me, I think it comes down to consuming less unnecessary things so that the money is spent on good, wholesome, organic and locally grown food. I’d really like to pay more attention to the content of my clothing and the contents but it is all baby steps, adding more good change. Funny where thinking of snow took me but this is how my mind works…
