Groovy!









Last weekend, after Spiritual Directors Intl conference, in Minneapolis/St Paul airport I encountered an airport employee who has reminded me all week to see beauty and joy wherever we find it.  In his twenties, with a slight Asian accent, he looked at my bright purple and turquoise zigzag patterned bag and exclaimed, "Groovy!"  

 Then he looked and me and said, "I can't believe your bag made me say "Groovy! I never say Groovy.  It just makes me so happy to look at its colors and patterns."   

I bought it at TJMaxx because NO ONE could ever confuse it on the conveyor with another.  I did not even realize it was Groovy until he pointed it out.  (My husband called it Loud.)

Amid all the sorrow, bad news and unkindness in the world, may you continue to find something Groovy each day and share it with fellow Earthlings.

This coming weekend is Earth Day.  We are reminded to widen our circle of compassion to all living things and systems we share the energy of the universe with.  Some of them are pretty Groovy,
