Organic Confetti
Posted by Nancie on August 23, 2008
Saturday morning. Too much to do in one day. Stress. Confusion as to where to begin. Hurricane Fay has brought cool breezes to north Georgia. It feels like October in August. We don’t get much of that around here. Where to begin? Clean? Grade papers? Wash the dogs? Work on my graduate classes? Deep breath……………………………….Okay, Natural solution? A cup of coffee on my screen porch. Just for a few minutes and I’ll be off like that Jamaican guy who won all the gold medals.
As I sat there enjoying the breeze and talking to God, a most wonderful thing happened. A gift of bright yellow fluttered and danced for me as if it had been choreographed. Beautiful. I pondered the glory of one simple object and decided that this little piece of organic confetti had done more to calm my spirit than Dr. Phil and Oprah could ever hope for. It’s still Saturday morning and I still have too much to do, but I experienced true beauty today and that is far more important than clean dogs or graded papers.
