This morning, the Canadian wildfires are making the air hazy and unsafe for sensitive groups. A poet would describe the air as angry.
It’s a good day to skip an outdoor walk and rest inside instead.
Resting a bit today. Sharing one of my (and my mom’s) favorite poems with you:
Look to this day: For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course Lie all the verities and realities Of your existence: The bliss of growth, The glory of action, The spender of beauty. For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision; But today, well-lived, makes every Yesterday a dream of happiness And every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day! --Sanskrit Poem Look to This Day
Thought or writing prompt:
Think of a lazy summer day memory. Try to recall the sights, sounds, smells and feelings of the day.
Inspiration:
As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
