May 22, 2007 * Volume 7, Issue 49 THRIVING ON THE PORCH I've just gotten back from a rejuvenating trip to Taos, NM. For those of you who have never been to New Mexico, the reason I love it so much involves all the wide open space and huge quiet. The land and landscape calls me to be present. In the moment, I breathe in the glory of God. I didn't used to know this about New Mexico. I'm not an outdoors woman, fisherman, rock climber, mountain climber, mountain biker or even a hiker! I have learned to sleep in a camper. But I don't like it much. So, I've also learned how to rent lovely little adobe homes and sit on the porch in the shade. And, there I thrive! I know God more, I connect with nature more and I accept me more! I'm not an outdoorswoman, yet I love to be outdoors. As long as my comfy bed and hot shower are just inside. To think I almost missed this intimate relationship with God and nature because I used to think you had to be willing to sleep on the ground to really see the moon and the stars! Where do you thrive? I'd love to hear your unique story, too.
Your privacy
