A SIMPLE TRUTH


The treasures are here, there, everywhere.

I walk with my eyes open to the newness around me

Life isn't static and if I think it is - if I think that

I am walking down a familiar street and really

won't see anything new that I didn't see yesterday....

I am mistaken.


There is a knowing in me that life is filled with what some would call miracles

and others would call just leaves.



Love is in the air - it is everywhere - Sometimes it is where I least

expect to find it.

That is why some days I do choose to look up - to head out

with a different attitude than one of I must get exercise

so I must walk fast to burn the calories.





There are times I remember before I even leave the house

To ask to see God everwhere.

Many times I have asked that the Divine show itself for my camera.

It really works and I do see the Divine hidden in the ordinary.






This particular day I saw Love in the Air in the form of a leaf on a tree

I happened to be with my brother in law and sister as

we walked through downtown Historic district of San Luis Obispo.

There were beautiful old homes to look at and what

my brother in law and I happened to see at the same time

was this beautiful leaf.

My sister and my husband were ahead of us talking and walking fast....

Because of a sprained ankle my brother in law and I were behind them and

we both saw this divine image at the same time.

I think he must believe in miracles as every day events also as he

had the eyes to see what I saw.

The overall message received from the Heart

was

To be Grateful for every moment - to remember it is the simplest

thing to ask

to see something

that will lift your heart to the Heavens

and Receive

God's Love and then

Be a vessel through which another can share in that experience.

A simple walk.

A simple smile.

A simple life.

I love your whole post...and what a wonderful message. Often I don't take my camera because I've already taken pictures in an area. Another time I take it anyway just in case I look a little to the left or right and see something I didn't see before, and now it makes a beautiful photo.

I love this post, Sandy. That leaf is beautiful, and it stands out in that picture so you can't miss it, like it's saying, "Hey, look at me!" :-)

I loved all of this post Sandy...and couldn't agree with you more. I find so much of God and his spirit when I am outdoors. I have since I was a small child.

Lovely post and photos, Sandy! :-)

Just recently on a walk, while I was pondering on Love's allness and seeing all as pieces of Love, I was almost run over by a bike but it stopped just in the nick of time. I knew collision was impossible because one piece of Love cannot hurt another piece of Love.

Lots of love,

Enocia - I'm so glad to see you here - have missed your posts at the forum.

I have visited your blogs at times but don't see where to comment. I really enjoy your writings.

Thanks, Sandy,

I am still sharing Spirit, what I understand to be Spirit anyway, in every day life on my blogs. I have disabled the comments field because I have too many blogs to maintain them. But readers are welcome to email if they have any questions or comments. :-)

I visit the forum from time to time. I particularly enjoy what you share too, Sandy, as you always write from the heart. I also love your photos and art.

Hope you're having a lovely day!

Lots of love,
