The Beauty In Wandering

Have you ever found yourself walking about with no particular place to be, no schedule, no phones, no plan? Maybe you have felt this freedom during a vacation or maybe instead, you find yourself needing a vacation from your vacation!

Wandering frees and expands our mind and gives us a much needed rest from all the noise of this world. It is nourishment for the heart and soul! And just as we find the importance in working out and nourishing our body, we must take the time to nourish our beautiful and fragile insides. It can be difficult to tune out, to unwind, and it might feel unproductive and uncomfortable at first. While wandering, there might be a feeling of disconnect. It may take time to fully experience the beauty in wandering! It is truly precious time when we are wholly connected, to self, giving us the ability to see and feel deeper.

Perhaps it is taking in the sights and sounds of nature or getting lost in the colors and textures inside a museum. Maybe it is a delicious bubble bath or listening to your favorite music. Maybe it is curled up in a cozy chair reading a great book or time spent in prayer/meditation. For me, my favorite wandering time includes hiking in the desert, getting lost in a painting way beyond the depths of colors & wading in the caressing salty ocean waves. Whatever it may look like to you, the beauty in giving yourself permission to wander revives and energizes! It is a beautiful gift of self care and where there is self care there is a gentleness in spirit.

The beauty in wandering…it is magical, lovely and grace-filled! I hope you find yourself wandering soon, your self will thank you!
