Feel the sea spray on your cheeks. Sense the wind in your hair. Feel the sun on your shoulders. Feel the sand beneath your feet. Feel the water rush up between your toes and run back down the beach again. Smell the salt air. Listen to the pulsating sound of the waves. Sense the power.... Continue Reading →
I heard a wonderful documentary on CBC radio today about teaching students to self regulate or quiet the self. I ruminated on it while I was sitting in church.

Today's scripture was a quote from Psalm 46: 10, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The whole psalm talks about war and trouble. Psalm 46... Continue Reading →
