Sending them off with love

It was the Thursday after Valentine’s Day and the Winter Program was concluding, so the love and reflection was being held tenderly. We began the morning with a circle of appreciation where we all chose an object to create a sort of mural. There were pinecones, tree branches, rocks, and even shoes to illustrate the mural while simultaneously statements of gratitude extended towards family and friends, the day ahead, children, and teachers. The morning was still and slow with a focus on observation and trying to find a heart-shaped rock that was later used to send love to earth and listen for what message was being sent back. It was a resemblance of pause and reflection to move forward in the next chapter of learning.
love
through appreciation
and awareness of the life
we are living and how
reflection
finding the beauty in the still
and quiet
to listen to intuition
nature
extends her heart out willingly
seldom do the receivers
but a reciprocity has to be
weaved through the ceaseless relationship
connection
find a place
hearken the tune of the wind
listen to the thoughts surfacing
the earth sharing
and be
