Raw in The Early Morning!

Hi there! Outside my window, the awakening of a new day. A New Day. What a miracle to be alive to witness it from here. The backdrop of orange, yellow and blue behind the darkness of the trees and their baby branches. It's gorgeous out there....and from in here, I've been waiting for the sun.

The sun; that amazing star that provides us with Life. I am imagining the earth right now receiving what it needs for growth. The earth needn't 'do' anything....but simply receive what it is given. By the hands of those that planted (or by the wind that lay the seeds), the earth receives. The earth receives nurturance - water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, love, food. All that it needs to support new growth of beautiful plants and trees.

And we, the abundant receivers of the earth's bounty, rejoice in what is given.

One of the beautiful things about eating raw foods is that every moment, I get to thank the earth for what I am about to receive. It's so much more obvious to me that someone planted, someone picked, etc...what I am about to eat, when I am looking down at a raw avocado, or grapefruit or delicious mixed salad that my friend, Eva, made for me!

When food is so packaged and processed, I tend to forget to be thankful....even if the taste is good.

As I move through the layers upon layers of grief, I am reminded this morning to be thankful.

Raw Love, Robyn
