Journey of our Spirit

Day ONE of the BookTravelex! You missed me this morning ...I had for one of you the book 'Journey of our Spirit' ...ready to SWAP! On top of the book I had put the beautiful Bird of Paradise Flower.

As every morning you can find me at Cafe Cruz around 9am! Please try again tomorrow - who knows what book I will bring. I took the time to re-read passages of the book myself while my two youngest sons where happy frolicking around on the beach. Meeting strangers - but for them they are just 'other kids'. Children do not think that much as we adults they just find a play mate and share their buckets and shovels without even knowing each other's names. They are kids and that's all that counts to them. Wouldn't life be just a bit more uncomplicated if we could learn from those little critters.

'Journey of Our Spirit' is written by Australian Author Helen Martino-Bailey. One quote out of her book: 'Be conscious of the beauty around you: See the Joy in children, the wonders of nature. Think of Divine Love as you see, hear, smell, taste, touch. In doing this life becomes more joyful and a living meditation.'

My meditation comes with my early morning coffee when I gather my thoughts for the day staring out over the water surrounded with the laughter of my kids. Yes, I can pass this book on.... I see - hear -smell - taste and touch? Do you?

Hope to swap a book with you 'stranger' tomorrow at 9 am at Cafe Cruz- Manly Cove - opposite Ocean World.
