This afternoon around 4:30 I went out and checked everybody. Brought the goats in, put the chickens away, fed the dogs and took my newest little stray, Max, out to play.
It was unusually quiet outside.
I stopped and listened. There was a golden hush of silence over everything like Mother Earth was taking a deep breath.
The sun was shining down in shimmering iridescent sparkly streams of gold. The animals bedded down, the sun beating on their backs while they munched on their hay. The chickens cackled softly as I put them to bed.
For one special moment, everything felt right with the world.
You could feel the softness and the warmth of the sun's rays as it touched everything.
"What did you do this afternoon"? "Was it cold where you are"? So cold that nobody ventured out or maybe you were able to and headed to Starbucks or a department store or your favorite restaurant.
Maybe you went for a walk down by the lake and watched the geese as they swam nearby.
Maybe you were a young mother in labor at the hospital who was comforted as she watched out her window the soft clouds passing by like giant puffy cotton balls, in between contractions, as her nervous yet excited husband held her hand.
Or maybe you were at a funeral saying your last goodbyes to a friend, a neighbor or a loved one.
Wherever you were, you and I were together, experiencing another day of life's ebbs and flows.
~Blessings,
Nightshade
