Example Theme & Reflection Questions

Theme:  There is a beautiful tenderness and gentleness to life.  When in the here and now in nature, it is very easy to witness this…

The gentle touch of a branch brushing the hair off of one’s brow, the tenderness of each new bud emerging into life, the softness of the ground beneath your feet, the gentle ripples of the water on the river’s surface, the tranquil dance of the trees in the breeze, the shimmering of the water in the sunlight, the soothing sound of a bird song, the delicate touch of raindrops on skin – so faint that when I look up, it is a surprise to see the rain… I invite you to be witness to these moments.

In tomorrow’s dance, I invite you to celebrate gentleness.

Reflection:  How gentle am I on myself, with people who cross my path and my surroundings?  Am I ever hard on myself?  If yes, in what ways?  When this happens, how can I be gentle and practice self-love?
