Giving Thanks

Thank You for holding tightly to my heart; for never letting go.
Thank You for being my perfect other half.
For being my stalwart rock through every storm.
For showing me how to bend.
For eyes that see art at every turn.
Thank You for patterns of naturally occurring polka dots
and sea currency: sand dollars.
For kelp vases that hold nothing but salt water and grains of sand.
For the intricate designs in nature that human eyes may never see. And if I am fortunate enough to behold one: oh joy!
I am grateful for every shell that ever was or will be.
Thank You for the delicate threads that tether me to this world.
And thank You for the occasional view through the veil. It is there that I see most clearly.

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.
