Sparkling Wonders…

Mother Nature brought us a pretty blue sky with puffy clouds and sunshine today and a couple of inches of snow over night that left the trees all winter white. That is until the wind paid a little visit.

I just happened to glance out a window as the wind began to nudge the snow so very gently from the tops of the pine trees. The snowflakes danced in the sunshine as they made their way to the ground. The individual flakes sparkled in the sunshine. There were thousands of them floating down so effortlessly so joyfully too. You could make out every single one dazzling in the sun. I was transfixed.

Such a gift to have witnessed this amazing scene…it brought a smile to my lips and joy to my heart! I was in the right place at the right time to view this absolutely beautiful wonder.

There are a multitude of wonders that are available to us each day to experience. So often we are up in our heads all too caught up in our thinking to see what is right in front of us. We miss so much.

All it takes is a mindful awareness of where we are at and what is around us in the moment we are in and a willingness, an openness, a curiousness to be present to see the wonders that are in our life’s path.

Those glistening flakes danced their way to the ground for seemingly a long time as the wind nudged more and more off the tree limbs till the trees were empty. It was like time had slowed down…I didn’t want the beauty to end. But it did as all things do…as all life does change from moment to moment.

What wonders are in your path at this very moment?
