Be Healthy, Well, & Inspired

I have been very busy lately:  working,studying for my software certification,  blogging, freelance writing, de-cluttering my apartment, and cleaning out my office. Last night I read the 38th Verse of The Tao of Wayne Dyer’s book, “Change your Thought, Change your Life” and this poem was included.  Something about the poem made me think about connecting with myself and connecting with animals.  Animals have an” inner knowing” and this poem made me think about God’s creations; to sit quietly and watch dogs play, butterflies, deer, or a cat. This poem is from a 16th century mystic, Saint John of the Cross.

A Rabbit Noticed My Condition

I was sad one day and went for a walk; I sat in a field.

A rabbit noticed my condition and came near.

It often does not take more than that to help at times —

to just be close to creatures who

are so full of knowing,

so full of love

that they don’t —

chat,

they just gaze with

their marvelous understanding.
