Not So Speechless Sunday: The Joy of Blue Skies!

Yesterday, as we were leaving the Santa Barbara Farmers Market, we looked up and marveled at the blueness of the sky. This morning the blue skies are back, the winds have morphed into soft breezes, and we intend to take a long walk after our mastermind call! Wishing you the joy of blue skies!

"If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive."

~ Eleanora Duse

"Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? Do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? No, we just enjoy it. Each second, each minute of our lives can be like this.

Wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. We don't need to go to China to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. We can be in touch with these things right now."

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Happy Sunday, Cheers!

I haven't seen a sky like that in a long time. We get a lot of overcast here. Even a sunny day we have some clouds.

Kathy Streib of course, your comment does not surprise me. We had plans to go the beach and take a walk and the winds quicked up again 20mph. If they are down by 5PM, we may go. Our air is beautifully clean. Hope the birds are thriving as you are giving them so much loving care. A

One of the upsides of this pandemic - cleaner skies and air in the cities due to less vehicle and plane traffic.

Both the photo of the Santa Barbara skies and the quote of Thich Nhat Nanh are 'true blue.' Have a wonderful week. I admire you guys, Ron and Alexandra Seigel and the respect and the time you allow for those peaceful, relaxing walks you take together. That is the story, I believe, of a couple who are listening to a higher soul and spirit.
