“Sometimes I have loved the peacefulness of an ordinary Sunday.
It is like standing in a newly planted garden after a warm rain.
You can feel the silent and invisible life.”
The ordinary becomes extraordinary when we open all our senses to it. Be aware. How would you describe it? As a garden? Warm rain? Find your own description. Notice. Feel the silent and invisible life. It’s one way to nourish peace, cultivate loving kindness, and carry the calm.
This week’s nature and shadow come in one photograph – a fern unfurling.

“Where you tend a rose, my lad,
A thistle cannot grow.”
– Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden –
Tend is short for attend. Meaning pay attention.
Peace is found more often by paying attention not to what’s trending but to what needs tending. Sure, sometimes they’re the same. But be aware. Pay attention. Nourish peace, cultivate loving kindness, carry the calm. And tend the roses.

“I believe that if one always looked at the skies,
