She has such a lovely way of stringing words together. <br />When I am in the forest, by the ocean, or in the garden - it's then that my thoughts ramble for awhile, then focus on the gifts of sunshine on my back, the smell of the earth, the satisfaction of pulling out weeds, and the sight of emerging green. And I give thanks to God. That's meditative for me.
