Carats

 Took a little ride around the property. Needed to gaze at the rolling hills and green grass. Nature really clears the thoughts. Feel small sometimes. Let something be bigger. Be present. Be available to wonder. 

Listening to Luke

And Morgan

Croon about

Country living

Makes me feel 

Alive and well

Because they 

Realize the joy

That comes

From living

This reality

Where net worth

Is not a thing

To celebrate

The dirt 

Underneath

My toes

Is the gem

The diamond

Carats upon carats

Is covered

In red clay

  5. This reminds me of the recent country hit "Buy Dirt." You can't get any richer than that!

  6. I love those times when I can divorce myself from the world of possessions where everything has a price or net worth. The freedom of just being alive and a part of the surroundings I am in is precious beyond belief. The days in between those precious moments seem heavy and restricting. Places we can go to experience those things is disappearing faster than I would like all in the name of progress. Enjoy them while you have them.

    Love, Hugs and Blessings

  7. It's a lovely thing to disconnect oneself from the world of net worth. Alas, we must eventually return. Enjoy in the meantime. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
