Quiet Promises

A rainbow is a quiet promise.

This morning, I woke up to a rainbow as I walked around my property amazed at the beauty of the sunrise to the east and this rare rainbow in the southwest horizon that turned into a double rainbow. A great way to start the day and week. How is your week starting so far?

There is something about these little snippets of moments that we didn’t request, that just appear that can fill our soul. On Friday evening Ed and I sat and watched a beautiful thunderstorm that was full of buckets and buckets of water. Beautiful water from the sky that has been way overdue here in Colorado.

I recorded some of the storm for today’s 4-minute meditation. I added to the meditation the poem, Desiderata (meaning things desired in Latin) which came across my path as I was cleaning out some paperwork over the weekend. You may remember one of the poems most famous lines: “You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the starts you have a right to be here.”

Take the four minutes out to envision a week full of unrequested moments along with the requested moments as July hits the halfway mark. Enjoy!

And remember even something like an unexpected juicy afternoon nap can be one of those moments that brings an extra dose of new energy your way.

Stay calm, carry on, and be ready for the quiet promises.
