INSIGHTS FROM MY COCOON

December 17, 2015

Birmingham, AL

Cocooned by quilts, tucked into the strong arms of shelter... rain taps insistently overhead adding yet more insulation while I'm burrowed into my snuggle-safe world. Oh how lucky I am!  I have in no way earned to be blessed while others struggle.  For me today, this isn't a call to rush headlong toward a great cause but to pause with indrawn breath and expand my awareness...to feel in my everyday world where I can add a little joy or lessen a burden or confront a need I would rather turn my head and ignore. Some people are built to lead great causes but what magic can individuals create by just their daily choices?  Cradled so tenderly I am graced to feel challenged to find out.
