Have you ever noticed…

Have you ever noticed…

Nature has Her way of keeping all Her animals clean…
Let’s think about this…
Have you ever seen a dirty Robin Redbreast?
Or a gull with mud caked from head to foot?
I don’t think so…

Nature bathes Her creation with Her wonderful rains…
Her Christmas trees are all decorated with the purest of snow…
All creation gathers around to celebrate the Holiday season…
Sometimes with tears of sadness for those who have been lost…
Sometimes with tears of joy for those who have been born.

This, to me, is the great story…
Each year another Holiday season making new memories…
Love all around me in the soft, subtle light…
And all I have to do is reach out to touch it.

Yet sometimes, the holidays can be oh, so, stressful…

When we worry, we do damage to the ending of this beautiful story…
We insert into the pages many significant difficulties…
We work so hard to keep our worlds perfectly clean…
When, like nature, we don’t have to work at all.
Pure love is already perfectly clean.

So often we sit at the holiday table with draggled fur…
Invisibly small…
Surrounded by so many loved ones we know little about…
I guess if we could just relax, we could get to know them.

I love you,

Annie
