Whisperings of grasses

 Rural countryside, en route for Lauzerte

"What I know in my bones 
is that I forgot to take time to remember what I know.  
The world is holy.  We are holy.  
  All life is holy.  
Daily prayers are delivered on the lips of breaking waves,
the whisperings of grasses, 
the shimmering of leaves,"
~   Terry Tempest Williams

Awe and Wonder

The lushness of spring, in the countryside after Lauzerte

"The elemental spirituality is awe and wonder and delight before the creation. 
The mountains, the birds, the flowers, the children
reach out and touch us with wonder and with joy.
We sense a wonderful Creator.
We respond with thankfulness,
sometimes reverence,
engaging with the holy."

~From "We Well People"
