Sunday Morning
Sunday, February 19, 2006
Today it is an extremely cold day for East Texas. But sitting here, drinking my coffee, still in pajamas and a nice warm flannel robe, with Maya at my feet, and a small heater blowing on us, I realize how nice it is that I do not have to get dressed and go to church on this cold, dreary Sunday Morning. Isn’t that wonderful? Think of all the people whose belief system requires them to go out in this weather.
With that thought, however, I feel afloat this morning. I have no real belief system; just a lot of unrelated sentences. But that is because I have been inside due to the cold and rain and have not been “in” my belief system. Life and Nature. Just thinking about it and finally being able to see a bit of it through an opening up of my frosted over windows make me feel better. I see a lovely female cardinal sitting alone on a branch near a feeder. And now I see a wren scurrying about the ground looking for seed.
I have no need for a belief system. I have beliefs: one in life itself and one in me, myself, and that is really all I need. Now, I feel grounded again in reality. There is no need of sentences or system. Give me a window with a view of nature and I am at peace and full of joy on this Sunday Morning.
