The Wisdom of Many Things

Where are you going, Rock?
Wherever The Flow takes me. There are times I must wait for what seems like ages.
Do you enjoy reaching for the sky, Tree?
Of course I do, but I also reach towards the earth with my roots to keep me grounded.
Do you like soaking in water, Leaf Plate?
The Living Water cleanses me. Gently. Because I’m delicate.
Quilt, just looking at you brings me joy.
I am glad. I am the Great Comforter. I cover you and make you feel safe.
Cactus, you are so beautiful, but untouchable.
I give warning. I am The Protector of your more vulnerable parts.
You intrigue me, Log Cabin.
Although I’ve seen better days, I attract positive attention. I am the Keeper of Memories. If you dare to look inside Me, I heal.
Oh, Iron, the toil!
Or the ingenuity. My purpose is to make life easier.
Ahh, Golden Clouds…
I travel with The Living Water — always.
What are you saying, Sign?
Grow wherever you’re planted. Even in the most unlikely of places. Growth is a friend to all.
You look like a starfish in the sand, Leaf.
Things aren’t always what they appear to be from afar. Come closer and you will see Me more clearly.
You make me chuckle, Dog, you’re gazing with such intensity.
I wait — eagerly — for The One I truly adore.
Where do you lead, Path?
Everywhere and nowhere. Follow Me and you will not be disappointed.

Take a walk with me by reading my 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.
