Serenbe Reflections
Karen, Pedro, and I moved to Serenbe two months ago today. Each day, we pinch ourselves to see if we are awake or dreaming. Either way, we can’t imagine being more thrilled than we are today… yet each day we are more thrilled.
As I walk the trails, I reflect on how grateful I am to have found the Serenbe community.
The Serenbe Goats teach me that it’s worth the effort to get up close and personal in order to connect to each other and to life.
They remind me to be curious about everything and everyone.
And that it’s the little things that count.
Life is precious and tender.
It’s good to take time each day to stretch the body and mind.
Three pigs in a blanket remind me of the importance of friends and rest, and that sometimes life is just downright messy and that’s OK.
And being watchful and awake is the best way to navigate this world.
I’m also reminded that good, honest work that suits you makes a heart happy and fulfilled.
And taking time to stop by the house of a new friend warms the heart. Thank you for your hospitality, Bess and Joe.
Thank you, Serenbe, for your warm welcome.
Wonderful pictures and Bess and Joe are precious folks!!
Thank you, Judy! I look forward to getting to know you and learn more about Community Brickworks.
Have you considered writing a children’s book with all your wonderful photographs? It would be geared toward children, but every adult who’d read it would love that their child is learning such wisdom, and, they, too as parents would get to marvel in its brilliance and smile.
Of course I believe it should be English/Spanish bilingual….so my students and I could read it together.
Your photos are amazing.
That sounds like fun, Cara!
Thanks for including a shot of our birdbath! We brought it from our home of 25 years in Columbus Ohio and love seeing it as part of your blog.
Stop by anytime. One of the best things about Serenbe is having a community that can stop by–no appointment needed!
Thank you, Bess!
