On our grateful walk,as we encountered lizards, cats, crabs, birds, and beesthat are often on our path,I became overcome by the thoughtof how little I know about the world.I had no idea what the name ofthe tiny, white crab smaller than a dime was,why Bella was unafraid of the land crab bearing his claws,why the egret was fluffing his feathers and wingsor who had walked before me on the paththat Bella was free to runand joyfully explore.The wisdom of this humblenessled me back into a world of wonderwhere I experience life as it isbefore judging it.I realized I had unintentionally cut off the world of wonderas walls were created around my heartby the weight of the stories of the pastand...
On our sunrise grateful walk yesterday,
I said gratitude for the sun rising

May today find
your mind quieting
to hear the heart’s translation
of life.
-Jenny and Bella
On our grateful walk, I took notice of my critical voice. For the first time, I allowed myself to sit with her in compassion. From this perspective, I became aware of why I still entertained her presence as this voice feels she can give me something to do to feel safe, liked and loved.

While I can appreciate the wrapping, it is the gifts on the inside that holds true beauty to me. My critical voice has judged my worth according to my bank account and materialistic possessions yet I’ve discovered...
There are no combination of words
that I've found to describe
witnessing a wounded heart
remember its sacredness again
when finding purpose in the pain,
peace in the chaos
and love in the lesson.
