WE ARE GROOT

In the movie Guardians of the Galaxy there is a character named Groot.

He is a tree/root.

Throughout the movie he tries to make all the characters get along with one another...

they all come from different planets and places and ways of thinking

and he says "I am groot."

toward the end of the movie he gives his life to save his friends by wrapping them in his

root/vine/branches and tells them

"We are Groot"

Which is what I believe

We are the ones with the keys to saving the universe.

We are the guardians of the galaxy.

We are ultimately the carriers of what happens here.

What happens to one of us happens to all of us. 

We are groot.

    I don't know the movie but the text touches me..... and beeing Dutch, the word "Groot" (don't know how it is pronounced in the movie : groot or g-root) but Groot in my native tongue means 'large, big, enormous'.

    When I woke up this morning your blog came into my mind and I felt I should come over here and see what I'm supposed to see. I've not seen this movie but I can certainly understand the message. Thank you for this gentle reminder.


    I also felt I was supposed to see your Sunday post. The Golden Rule has been passing through my mind with more frequency along with a deeper desire to practice it in every circumstance. So, I also thank you for that. :)

First Snow

  Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!!  I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.  I plan on eating a more plant based diet this year. It's only been a week and I'm already feeling better. I did eat two slices of mushroom pizza last night and ended up having heartburn so it will be a good long time before I eat dairy again.  Each month one of our families brings in a bouquet of flowers.  We cut most of the stems off and place them on a tray which we place on the children's table.  We place another tray with a very small pitcher and a few very small bud vases.  The child fills up the pitcher using water from the bathroom sink, brings it back to the table and pours the water in a bud vase of their choosing.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Image
  My daughter, Hannah's house is just so pretty. It's a large, Victorian era duplex with beautiful light. Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~  A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo.  It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem.  This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
