Being on this glorious land, whether alone or with company, one can't help but be in awe of the Divine's beauty and grace. Gratitude is an ever abundant presence when gazing at God's splendor. The stillness and changing appearance is a sweet reminder of the changeless nature of our inner being and that of our true source. Even though this season may call for our outwardness to shift, our pure love, joy, and kindness is permanent and unmoving. Connecting us all. Regardless of the times, Divine Love is ever timeless.
