I believe that we were meant to touch the earth and that in order to live healthy and clear minded it’s essential that we find time in our busy schedules to connect with the beautiful world around us in some way.
That we Search out and find a moment when we stop to touch the earth and let the earth touch us
I know how hard it can be to take time out of your day to….
take your shoes off in between appointments, laundry, school work, the never ending to-do list to let your Bare feet touch the earth
plant something and watch it grow
I think it’s really important to use your hands and get close to materials. To be up close to real things like rain and mud; to have contact with NATURE. -Robin day
maybe get up before the kids and watch a sunrise
take a minute and love on an animal
stop and listen
go exploring with your children, your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews or just sit back and watch them enjoying the earth with all the Magic that comes along with being a child
Take time to Dance in the Rain
Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
– Langston Hughes
stop to really take it all in
take five minutes and soak up the beauty of the setting sun
Finding time to pause and step into Nature is challenging in this fast pace world but I believe with all my heart, that even just two minutes a day could be enough to give you energy, inspiration and can calm
If you have made time in the midst of laundry, jobs, appointments, school work and the never ending to-do list to touch the earth
Please share with us
Let’s help remind each other of the beauty around us..it’s here for all of us if we will just stop to notice
” I don’t want a day to go by when I do not touch the earth and the earth does not touch me.”
