Morning Splendor

 

By: Gabriella Frawley Date: 14 October 2018



Gently waking to the soft, playful drops of rain kissing the Earth, a joyful stretch awakens the relaxed slumber of my body. Taking a deep breath of the new day, my body as though being guided by a comforting hand, happily heads to the sound of the refreshing day being brought forth by gentle rain.

 The ground beneath my feet is cool to the touch, invigorating my entire body in a welcoming feeling of a breath-taking start. As I open the door, I am greeted by a thankful breeze that happily enters my home, allowing the stale air to escape and reunite with an ambitious fresh breeze. 

Standing on the now soaked bricks, the smell of a grateful Earth fills my lungs as the crisp air teases playfully at my waking hair. Slowly gazing over the garden, the colors of each plant in all its splendor bursts to life as the rain trickles onto each leaf and petal, knowingly enhancing the beauty hidden under a sun scorched layer of dusty protection. 

In the midst of such splendor, a joyful bird perched on a branch, chats happily with the kisses of water droplets tickling his feathers encouraging the flock nearby to chatter in agreement. The clouds overhead shine with a magnificent silver as the morning sun hidden behind its gentle, fluffy cloak sends a harmonious energy to the waking life beneath. 

Softly whispering its grateful morning song, the breeze working in perfect harmony with the playful rain, breathing a sense of new beginnings into all living creatures. Subtle moments like these, awaken the feeling of being grateful for the Earth’s natural blessings given on each brand-new day, washing away the harshness of the previous day to be reborn into a world that has no limitation of pure magnificence and wonder. 

Being a part of this boundless energy recharges an undeniable thought of "I am a part of something amazing!"

  “The world is your oyster.” How many times in one life time have you come across this quote? Let’s dive into the overwhelm such a simple quote can bring about during or after completing school, deciding on a career path or starting that business that made others question your sanity. First, let’s explore an oyster, a type of mollusk with two shells, each containing a protective layer that covers its organs. This protective layer known as the mantle is responsible for safeguarding vital organs that keep it alive. Keeping in mind, nearly all high quality pearls are created by oysters, although pearl clams and mussels do exist, they are extremely rare. How do oysters make pearls? | Live Science Much like our upbringing we have our parents, the two main characters that form part of the shell and hold the responsibility for safeguarding the new generation. Then we have our own personal bodies with its own unique designs we have been blessed with at birth, covered in skin that prot...

Hiking with Anxiety

  Like any other day, you awake to a choice, to take a walk in the beautiful world along a path you have become so familiar with, there is no need to look at the ground and watch where you place your feet. Somehow this day seems different; you are now noticing the mountains that lay before you and in that moment you have an idea to take a new path that will lead you to the top where you can experience something you have only ever dreamed of. So, you start this new course, where the terrain is unknown to you. The ground you could once clearly see as the foot path was cleared for you by the traffic of others, now lay plant species of varying kinds holding within them their own secrets and stories. Breaking through the tree line of the unknown a familiar friend rises to meet you, Anxiety. Like before, you misinterpret her presence for fear yet as you breath into the space of discomfort you find that there is a purpose for her joining you on this new adventure, one where she offers a...
