Some of the simple pleasures of life are things that warm our hearts.  Things that remind us of the softness that exists in our world.  Warm air breeze, pillows, touch of another human being, etc.  All these things remind us that there is a gentleness that can be a buffer in our harsh world.  I know that at the end of a long day, I love it when my head hits the pillow.  When I feel a warm breeze I am reminded that the Spirit is alive and well.  And there is nothing like the preciousness of a friends’ touch when I am distressed or upset.  These are all ways that God manifests in our lives.  Most times the image of God is Father.  But God is mother as well. God is the Creator.  He gives life, just as mothers do, he provides a safe haven, and reminds us that when the world seems cruel and harsh he or she, if you prefer, has warm arms of comfort to hold us and let us cry.  I think that is why so many people relate to the image of mother earth. One who resides over her creation with care.  We are called to bring that same softness to others.  To imitate nature.  Sometimes I think of that song by Sting, ” . . . we forget how fragile we are . . .”  How can you bring some softness into the world today and nurture its fragility?  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
