Sheer Volume

What leaves me gob smacked about the Mendocino area’s headlands in the spring is the sheer volume of flowers that flourish there.

Whether planted,

natural,

or a combination of both,

the blooms often continue as far as the eye can see.

I often feel embraced by them,

especially when I get down to their level.

Hugs can be hard to come by these days. But allowing the embrace of benevolence—through the natural world—can soothe us.

Take a walk with me by reading my most recent daily devotional book, Meditations on Mendocino by Sondra Sula. Available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle versions.

If you’d prefer a daily river walk, Reflections on the Fox River and Beyond by Sondra Sula, might just be the book for you.
