These posts have always been about locating serenity in our lives and over the past few months I have found that listening to news media outlets has been anything but peaceful. It has been a lot of vitriol, hatred, fear mongering, over and over and over and it's from all sides of the equation. It's exhausting. I've have decided to maintain some serenity in my daily life I must disconnect from the world's noise and instead I read, I listen to calming music, I stare out the door at the birds feasting off the feeder, but I do not engage with the voices of hatred.
In an ugly world we must learn how to be nice to anyone and everyone. As I sit at my desk writing, my spouse just opened the door to the backyard and the silence was broken by the birds singing.
Spring is quickly approaching and while March has certainly come in like a lamb instead of lion, perhaps we can take a page from nature and enjoy the beauty of what surrounds us, enjoy the greening of the grass, the buds of trees and flowers, the songs of the birds and the colors of nature and our world.
March reminds us of what we can look forward to in the spring. Joy, calm, beauty and serenity must become a part of our daily living. Let's try to end the vitriol and begin this burgeoning new season filled with serenity.
Talk to you soon.
