Root Returning

I loved this small excerpt of a lovely Essene meditation posted by Kelly Curtis on the beautifully inspirational blog, Kelly’s Quest.

“Softness fills my days
In this season of autumn light.
Gentle joy of life returning
To know its roots again.”

As we perhaps slow down a bit this autumn, may we mindfully embrace the quiet, deep and abiding joyful health of our roots.

Contemplative Robert and the foggy Savannah River near us.

Five Friday Happy Bringers 10/14/22

1. Our cast iron Dutch Oven bottom round roast dinner last night. Whew. That’s a mouthful. Literally.

With carrots, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, fresh thyme and fresh rosemary.

2. The young mother and her one-month old baby who were next to us at the Atlanta Pride Parade last Sunday.

Joyful Love

3. The front door of our old 1870’s home.

4. Knowing, truly knowing, that every breath we breathe is a precious gift to savor and appreciate.

5. HR matching with his food.

Bangkok Thai Restaurant, Atlanta

May you match up with a fun and healthy weekend ahead!

“ROGER”

Robert caught me using the WordPress ability to dictate my blog on a break from festivities at Atlanta Pride this past weekend.

As least that’s what he thinks I’m doing.

In reality, I’m checking with my personal assistant Crystalia to make sure she thinks my wooden Pride beads are hip enough for the relentless paparazzi.

She did.

Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 10/10/22 “Atlanta Pride Parade”

Marveling as about 100,000 of our friends joined HR and me at the 2022 Atlanta Pride Parade yesterday.

Sen. Raphael Warnock showed up, accompanied by his fellow Georgia senator and friend Jon Ossoff …

As did gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams …

Side-note: There were about a dozen other candidates present, all Democrats, for various state and local offices. But there wasn’t a Republican candidate to be found. Not one. No Gov. Brian Kemp. No Herschel Walker. I wonder why.

May we all drive on toward full equality.
