Snirt

Do you ever think, “Fine. I’ll try and meditate again even though I’m sure it won’t do any good”?
I’ll be honest. I do.
Sometimes the last thing in the world I want to do is meditate.
But that’s usually when I need it most.
So I can let go of all that is going on in my head and heart.
And abide.
Inhale.
Exhale.
Welcome to A Hit of Hope.

Well Betsy, all my 66 years of living in Sask, Canada, I have never heard the name for the yucky dirty snow! My new word for the day, maybe I can use it in one of my Scrabble game..

I wish I had known this word shirt earlier. The first time I took my Southern wife back to Massachusetts in the winter and she saw her first snowfall, like all of us she thought it was absolutely beautiful. I told her to just wait a few days. Later we were walking the dog and she just kept saying how gross it all looked, how hard and dangerous it felt now. What happened to the beautiful snow? I remember saying to her if the snow didn't end up looking like this after days or weeks after it first fell, you wouldn't appreciate how beautiful it looked when it was pristine and white.
I love the perspective you used on this, the divine meeting the dirty, this liminal place. Thats always where the magic happens. 💙
As always, wow.
Namaste 🙏

Well, well, well. You have made my day! I have lived in sunny Cali for over 60 years. Next week I move to Utah to live near Son and his family. I will now appreciate Snirt, because of your creative way of expressing its importance.
I will see a lot of it next winter. LOL
Thanks Betsy.

I leave Ohio for good in a week. The manic schedule has me missing quite a bit of sleep, and meditating (I still make time twice daily) is more like nap time, as I seem almost always to doze immediately.
So yes, I suffer the loss of meditation, and force myself to make more time, after which I am invariably happy that I did.
Besides, the book that comes from this trip should be spectacular.
Thank you once more, Betsy, and namaste.

Wonderful way to look at snirt! Thank you for you meditations! They are the best!!!
