La Douceur

 

 

~ La douceur

 

is the French word to describe

 

not only 

 

sweet to the taste or a mild temperature

 

but 

 

a sense of gentleness and contentment.

 

Don't you agree that the world

 

needs more of that right now?

 

I was given a chance to participate

 

in a virtual meditation group from France.

 

The leader invited us to sit or lay down

 

close our eyes, forget everything

 

and 

 

enter into a state of "la douceur." 

 

How often does anyone take time out of the day

 

to just be 

 

gentle, sweet, kind, mild and most of all

 

content with oneself?

 

~~~~~~~~

 

Enter into a moment of sweetness

 

with 

 

the only person who will 

 

never leave you:

 

You.

 

And of course, The Divine

 

who loves you more 

 

than you can ever know

 

but can begin to know 

 

when you ask.

 

We all can make this world a much better place.

The meditation group sounds wonderful, Anita. With all the chaos in the world, it's not that often that we take time out of the day to just be gentle, sweet, kind, and mild, do we? We're so busy taking care of things, and we pass up so many things along the way. I did, however, have a special sighting the other day - I saw 7 deer in the woods! Oh, it made my day. Thank you for this lovely post, Anita. And that photo is just exquisite. : )

I love that you were invited to do this. It really is a wonderful thing and I love the name, too. We do need to take stock every day of the one who is with us, day in and day out forever, past, present and future. This is really beautiful -- and the music perfection.
