Time to process what has just happened in the United States … and really, what has happened that will affect the world.

So, I took a little walk around the yard, enjoying Mother Nature breathing in life, ruach, praying, healing.

The mushrooms that keep popping up in the yard may have a short life, but each day, through them, Mother Nature provides such wonderful colour, texture, shape, peace.

And a gentle feeling of hope begins to slowly surface.

The mushrooms make their way through the earth year after year after year, in spite of winter weather, summer heat, fall and spring rain.

So too will humanity.

Thank you, Mother Nature, for your everpresent reminder that “All shall be well. All shall be well. All manner of thing shall be well.” (Dame Julian who reminds us that even though things may not be well, in time, they “shall be.”)

Reach for the sun, mushrooms.
Reach for the sky.
Keep on growing and surviving in spite of the elements of Nature.

You are a remarkable metaphor for humankind.
