Summer is the season for families to embrace the spirit of adventure as they travel to familiar and/or faraway places. Travel allows all to relax, rejuvenate, and savor the beauty of the world. Over one hundred years ago, poet Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." I'd like to think that our journeys will allow us to savor all our life living moments.
On the road of life, we are the travelers.
The above photo, sent to me by Al Dhalla, invited me to write about peacefulness and the importance of being present. The image poem is part of the #EmbraceableSummer Gallery collection.

In open spaces
of late summer,
sunrise quietly dawns.
Yogis solemnly salute nature's majesty.
as nature silently paints a fiery sky
as nature silently paints a fiery sky
above the shifting sands.
Tranquility settles in.
Quietude achieved.

May your day open with peace and end in love.
