Driving through this span of Earth was an out-of-body experience for me. I was literally the smallest creature realizing the vastness, vitality and vividness of the land I crawl upon. Earth – A big hug to you from little me! (driving through CA land and under its clear blue skies).Earth
Amazing Earth! Look at nature’s construction – a beautiful streak of colors! Underneath it, look at the vigorous plan to unravel Earth. Makes me sad…we are constantly building, abandoning, demolishing, destroying our sweet home…our Earth.
These tulips are a product of my husbands work in our garden. They were merely bulbs when he planted them underground. Our first tulips in our 26 years of marriage… A treasure, indeed!
I’m breathing the crisp clean air in every breath. I’m feeling the freshness on my skin. All through this landscape. Seriously speaking…I’m speechless!
My usual daily walk, this morning, was usual in every sense; except that it was not usual. On this particular walk, every time, I passed a walker or a dog-walker, I was made aware that TODAY is the LAST DAY of the year 2015. And, this fact made today’s walk an un-usual one. “Happy new year,” “Happy 2016,” “Have a great new year,” “All the best in 2016.” These were wishes wished to me by the people I passed.
I started to get into the spirit of this day. With my pace trying to catch up with Thomas, my beagle; I felt my thoughts trying to catch up with this passing day. All the wishes started to swirl inside my head – no homelessness, no poverty, no killings, no hunger, no rapes, no child abuse, no child trafficking, no abuse, no animal abuse, no misuse of power and money…OH! MY THOUGHTS BECAME UNSTOPPABLE! My pace and blood flow followed! I realized that I ultimately wanted only ONE thing for our world, our earth, our planet, for 2016 and years beyond 2016:

No question about it, no explanation need to be given – Happiness is with you at all times; it’s yours to grab whenever YOU want!

For several minutes, the airplane I was on, flew over some amazing mountain peaks. I was mesmerized! The pilot had announced that we would be landing soon. I never stopped looking out the window…I felt like I had entered into another planet! As I was daydreaming, an unexpected scene jumped at me –A sudden change: from a massive collection of brownish mountains, with high and low peaks, to a massive collection of tiny and long metallic geometric structures! San Francisco! I was over the city I was about to visit!
