peace

So many of us are experiencing turmoil in our lives right now. Some are mourning the death of a beloved guide, some are losing a pet, others are ending a marriage, some are trying to find themselves, others trying to get home, many trying to move on in their lives and some are at the beginning of becoming a support system of a huge fight for life.

I just looked out my window and in the wintry twigs that the deciduous trees leave behind in their yearly evolution, I see a red cardinal watching the world go by. I am sure nobody else sees him, everyone is so busy in their daily comings and goings to take note of a mere spot of beauty amid the gray browns of winter.

But I see him.

Deep breaths.

Peace.
