For the past year and a half I have practiced yoga, one of many forms of meditation. With every breath during yoga I begin to see creation differently. I don’t see it as something to use, but as a wonderful gift that I sometimes take for granted. God’s creation is a gift that continues to keep on giving and growing with me as well as with future generations.
