Serving and Receiving

Last evening I had the opportunity to do a healing session with a veteran.  I can't believe the humbleness and joyousness of doing a service for a man who has done service for all of us.  That was my first chance to give back to one who has served us in that way.  I do hope it won't be my last.....today is starting out overcast but that has become a favorite beginning for me. Gives me quiet time that seems to hover  for a couple hours before the sun breaks through and alerts me to "get something done."  For now I can just be and allow my thoughts to go wherever they wish.  Now I'm watching crows in the labyrinth.  I'm not quite sure why, but every morning lately there are three or more crows walking the labyrinth - in their own way, of course, not the prescribed one route in to the center and then returning back out the same way.  They skip around to different spots as though trying to find the best one.  Probably they are finding seeds, but I like to think they may be looking for the best meditation spot.  My best spot is right where I am now.  In my seagrass chair looking out over the Pond.  Except for the crows, all is still.  Not even a slight movement either on the water or in the trees and grasses.  So, it is time for me to Be Still and receive.
