What soothes me.

incense



The trickling sound of water.



A cool breeze.



The faint scent of incense.



A butterfly.



The soil beneath my nails.



Chanting voices.



Movement in unison.



A smile from a stranger.



The written word.



Dark wood.



Soft fabrics.



An old photograph.



Orchids.



Moola Mantra



Vanilla.



Cold metal.



Worn out jeans.



Votive Candles.



Walking a Labyrinth.

  1. just reading those words soothed me.

    I know that this is going to be a very hard weekend for you Dan and hope that you know that you are loved and cherished, not only by me, but by so many people.

    I want to come over and just hold you through it.

  2. ditto, Boo. Finding those things that still survive to soothe is - necessary. Think I will make my own list this morning.

    Should be a package for you today, dan. Regular mail.

  3. Wonderful list. It inspires me to make a list too. The smell of sage brush on the high plains just after a light rain will figure up near the top.

    Hope you are finding a place of peace at this time.
