Nourish
Times are complicated. These days it feels like there is nowhere to go to find peace. When it is part of your normal day to reflect and nourish yourself thru prayer, or yoga or meditation, or all three together, and suddenly the sounds from the outside world are making it extra hard to focus on those things. Then it is time to recommit and set a special intention. We must carve out time for self care. Know that this too shall pass and be gentle and forgiving with ourselves.
I love to cook. During Covid days when groceries are hard to find (or acquire with out risk to our health) I have taken on the challenge of ordering my produce on line from a CSA that gets delivered and then I get creative with the ingredients that arrive. It gives me creative time in the kitchen. It distracts my mind and it lets me settle and reflect and be thankful for the things we have.
Prayer nourishes my soul and the food nourishes my body and my selfcare keeps me on an even keel. I pray that we will be well thru this period of our history. Pray, cook, meditate, repeat.
Be well my friends, we will all be together soon.
