Today promises to be a good one. It is summer and sunshine beckons me.

My siblings and I will gather, and in them, my parents will live for me again.

A rural setting surrounded by wildlife and forest will comfort me.

I find the most peace I feel these days is among nature's gifts, both animate and inanimate, other than human beings. My spirit connects to the earth in this way and grounds me. The drifting I feel is then somehow normalized, almost soothing, like a rocking chair. "Mother Earth" takes on an accurate and tangible meaning for me now. She helps me to feel less lost.

I will let you know how this day goes, in another post, as "Life is what happens when you're making other plans", courtesy of John Lennon, I believe.
