Looking out over the ocean I see the beauty of the Puget Sound. I can see the water lapping up on our shore and reaching out to the nearby island - Bainbridge Island. North beyond the island I can see the Agate Pass Bridge, which connects our peninsula to Bainbridge. Then further north I see Mt. Baker's white caps on a clear day and many other peaks of the Cascade mountain range.
What a beautiful place we live... At night we can see the glow of Seattle beaming up into the clouds above the mainland and we know that even though peninsula life is full of peace and beauty that we are still connected to the rest of the planet. In addition, all of humanity is connected whether living on a peninsula, on an island, in the mountains or on the mainland.
Peace, beauty and connected we all are if we give ourselves a chance to find contentment right where we dwell. Deciding that life is worth living connected to peace, beauty and each other is a great gift we can give ourselves.
Choosing to walk away from anything that may harm us or cause a disconnect from love, joy, peace and beauty is a difficult decision yet a choice that draws life worth living near. Do it for yourself, do it for your loved ones and do it for humanity. Be that example of contentment or at least striving for a contented life of peace, beauty and connectedness.
Contented/connected,
Rebecca
