Maine Meditation

This post was inspired by Stephanie Paterson who blogs at Steph Scrap Quilts. Her latest post was about her recent trip to Maine. She took us on a guided meditation of the beauty of the Sheepscot River in Maine. Her writing transported me back to Maine and the trip I took there last week. It was wonderful to return in my mind and find that peacefulness again. Steph’s blog title includes the subtitle: “”Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads…”. This is so true. Much of Steph’s writing and thoughts recently have mirrored my own. It’s a wonder how a stranger can feel so close to you. I’m grateful for her clear and honest writing.

As I wind down my summer travels and wind up for the school year, I am taking this time to return to Maine in photos and poetry. I hope these images inspire you to breathe, relax, and rejuvenate.

Maine Meditation

Be here
On the water
Breathe in blue
Exhale 

Be here
Surrounded
By evergreens
Relax

Be here
In this wild place
Feel the wind
Rejuvenate

Be here
Feel the rhythm
of the currents
Flow

Be here
Mountains rising
lift your eyes
Calm your spirits
