Week Six:
Reflection: I wandered lonely as a cloud by William Wordsworth verses 1 & 4…
I wandered lonely as a Cloud
That floats on high o’er Vales and Hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden Daffodils;
Beside the Lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
For oft when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude,
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.
Action: This week challenge yourself to ask yourself “Where’s the wonder?” In the hustle and bustle of life, endless emails and unwanted pop-up ads and solicitations, one asks “Where’s the ‘wandering lonely as a cloud’? Whether a morning walk or an evening starlit stroll, open the senses to the sights, sounds and touch. Read William Wadsworth, Robert Frost, Emily Dickenson, Rachel Carson, Wendell Berry and others.
