I am beginning the year with miracles... the quiet miracles wrapped sweetly inside the children's novel Miracles on Maple Hill by Virginia Sorensen. In the first pages, we are reminded that we have "all outdoors." I spent much of my childhood there and continue to love the body and soul meditation of walking in nature... in listening and connecting with the beautiful earth.
As a blizzard continues its second day of windy white demonstration outside my windows, I shall enjoy nature through the pages of this story, which I have read and thoroughly enjoyed in other seasons.
Wherever you are, whatever the weather, I wish you peace... and the curled-up comfort of a favorite book.
