Price-less Pleasures

As I found myself laying on my back watching the clouds in the sky, I wondered how long it had been since I last took a moment to do this…far too long.

I have loved gazing in to the sky, day or night, since I was a child. Forming the clouds into whatever shape my imagination conjures up, staring into the Milky Way or waiting patiently to catch site of a falling star brings me such peace and joy, and all other thoughts disappear.

When did I stop taking the time to enjoy such priceless pleasures?

How many of you meditate? I try, I truly do and about once a month I actually fit it in to my schedule. Sometimes it seems like a finicky task. So many elements have to come in to play to attain an atmosphere where I can have that much focus.

I know meditation is not the same as laying and staring at the bright blue sky but it is so much more alluring to escape to a place that makes you happy without having to give it so much effort. Sky-gazing is officially back on my weekly to-do list.

How about you? What’s your escape?

How to make Basil Sauce

In a food processor combine all ingredients and pulse until basil is well broken up. Refrigerate if not using immediately. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
