The Real Riches

This poem from Danna Faulds is a perfect reminder for what Summer offers.

My wealth is wonder.
True abundance is the
delight I feel on summer
nights as fireflies rise
from the grass and Orion
strides across the sky.
I measure my wealth
in birdseed and
hummingbird feeders,
in the number of purple
morning glories the vines
on the back deck produce.
inner light, divine connection,
self expression, love -
these are the real
riches of my life.

Summer is a time of warmth and reaching out to friends and family. This year, perhaps, more than ever. It’s also a time to slow down and appreciate what we have. As the world keeps spinning and external concerns escalate, take time to pause and find your middle ground. Here are the riches that last a lifetime.

Namaste
