SUNDAY GREETINGS and NATURE EXPERIENCES

  •  

    Dear Friends,

     

    Sunday, as the "day of rest", offers us opportunities to interrupt the everyday and

    touse forms of quiet contemplation.

     

    This can be at home, in a sacred space, or in nature. In this way, the challenges of

    the last time fall away, an inner peace returns, which builds up and mobilizes our

    strength. The thoughts get a free run and discover what has been lost in the hustle

    and bustle of the days.

     

    For this I found a very beautiful quote from Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, which could

    also have been from Thích Nhất Hạnh. It reads:

     

    “You will find something more in woods than in books.

    Trees and stones will teach you that which you can

    never learn from masters.”

     

    Let us also follow this advice and listen to what the nature surrounding has to

    whisper to us. Every inspiration brings us further and lets us become more and

    more an important part of the whole.

     

    I wish all of us a Sunday that lets us go inwardly strengthened into the coming week.

     

    Many Greetings

    and see you soon.

     

    Peter
