blowin’ in the wind . . .

a child's kite

We ran the north end of Siesta this morning.

Afterward we made a labyrinth not far from a group who were doing beach yoga, closer to the parking lot side of the beach than the water, at the entrance to the public beach nearest to the green life guard station.  As I walked I prayed for calming of Sandy’s fury.

Later on we went back to the beach, maybe around 4:00 pm, and by then the wind had blown the sand enough wind blowing the sandso the labyrinth is a bare outline of itself.

Patricia's "YES!"

 

the magic of reflection

 

the moon showing her almost fullness under a wee cloud

 

 

There is an old Irish prayer we found in Glendalough:  Celtic Soul Journey:

O God, bless the step

that I am taking,

and bless the soft earth

beneath my feet.

 

Am praying that prayer . . .

and these ones too,

as Sandy continues to brew.

 

May those in harm’s way seek and find shelter.

May those harmed be comforted.

May the wind ease.

May the wind ease.

May the wind ease.

 

ohhhh, for those of you who keep track of such things . . . this is the 100th post on wellsofwellness.org.

WOW!
