(not necessarily in that order)
We capped our week off with a downright magical visit to the new home of dear friends (and former housemates), Nandadevi and Sundara.
It had been way too long since we spent real time together, but we certainly made up for it this evening: after three hours we still had a hard time tearing ourselves away!
It seems like forever since I was able to sit outside on our little patio, breathing fresh air while enjoying the peace and quiet of nature. The smoke is part of the beautiful sunset colors, visible in the distance. It will very likely be back tomorrow, but I’m very grateful for this break in the meantime!
This is what the sky was doing outside our apartment at the end of this beautiful day. Just like the words of the Thanksgiving hymn we sang after dinner.
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
— Folliot S. Pierpoint
Thank you, God.
Amen.
