What is Your Passion?

Earth laughs in flowers. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ah, the joy and serenity of beauty. My hostess has a gorgeous home in Minneapolis. I left today, tearing myself away from a short visit with the women I met 30 years ago. We had been poolside, soaking in the sun, engaged in deep conversation. We laughed a lot too, during these intense conversations. One question was "what is your passion?" which sparked a good dialogue, but all the questions we brought forth had done that. These women are insightful and thoughtful. They are also not afraid to speak their mind. I LOVE the honesty and the degrees for variation amongst us and yet the ability to still ask the questions.

The joy of the gardens set a peaceful and happy tone for our gatherings. Of course, so did the kitchen table, laden with fresh vegetables and meat. One of the guests had brought up fresh produce which we devoured.

The earth has the right idea: laugh in beauty and colour! It has been a good visit.

Peace,

Suzanne
