Come on! Let's CLOVER! Happy St. Patrick's day!

  By Marie Tan-Hancock 

     Along the way, while traveling with our individualized journey, there are millions of things yet to be discovered. Being blessed with nature hopping lifestyle as a piece of my daily rituals, it created another yet one of the most amazing chapters in my life. 

   Our lifestyle shapes our world every day. No matter what it is, either way, don't forget, solitude is to be the biggest part of the deal. With solitude, it will lead you to possess that inner peace that can bring healing to the rest of your days.

 Through the years, my hubby keeps re-introducing me and our dogs to nature again until I consider outdoors to be my second home. As we  walk through every beautiful park we have visited together in the past and in the present, from the ground up; speaking from my own experiences that when I am soaked in nature- I am lost with the essence of the beauty that wraps around me, often enchanted by the swaying of trees as the breeze and eye catching sunlight getting through inside the empty spaces in between the twigs where every leaf finds comfort while waiting for Fall to come. As I age and witnessing every movement like this every day, I see myself more in wonderment, as I continue evolving with curiousity of what is really the indept meaning of life. 

    The world is too noisy and it's not just sometimes but every day. Most people when they wake up just hurriedly grab their phones, turn on their TV sets to watch about the news of the day and checking their messages, in boxes and emails. No one has time to be bored, to listen to oneself in silence, or read a book. Of course, yours truly is one of these "most people." 

😁 ....no one is perfect 

     Let's CLOVER! For a few years now, the clovers have fascinated me. They are all over the place, most especially where the warmth of sunlight can cover them completely. Thank you St. Patrick! This Saint introduced us to these clovers we can find everywhere. The three leaf clover represents the Trinity, the three Divine Person: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The main reason I have come to love THE CLOVERS, I feel their joy! I feel their peace! I feel their healing too! 

     Whenever I am in the park walking our dogs, I cannot wait to bend my knees and scan my fingers looking for 4 leaf 🍀  or the multiple leaf clovers. I'm often lost with time. I'm always mesmerized when I'm around clovers. When I am engrossed looking for clovers, I feel all my little aches, worries and low energy gone. Four leaf or multiple leaf clovers are rare and very hard to find. That’s why when you find one, just one, they say you're blessed and lucky. Well, for me it's enough to put a smile on my face. CLOVERS make me happy. 

"A four-leaf clover is a rare genetic mutation of the common three-leaf white clover (Trifolium repens) with an extra leaflet. The odds of finding one are estimated to be between 1 in 5,000 and 1 in 10,000, making them a symbol of luck." Google search

     For a few weeks now, I was sad I didn't find one. But when I was about to leave, as usual, every time I said good bye to the clovers, the trees, the tiny plants and flowers left unnoticed, and the birds, bugs and bees around left unappreciated- but the other day, as I said a prayer in my heart, here I saw eight, 4 leaf clovers right when I was about to leave. Oh my heart dropped with joy. Then the next day, I found more in that exactly the same spot. God knows my heart- that the simple but beautiful little things are enough for me to be happy. Finding eight 4 leaf clovers in one day for me is really impossible to happen. But it did! Praise the Lord!

     Louie got his first four leaf clover again after 70 years. He often found them when he was 5 years old or older.  But a few days ago, he got his third recent one. 😆 🍀 Let's go ! Let's 🍀 clover!!!! Let's count our blessings! Again let's clover!

Through my gift of sight, my God given gift, my eyes, I want to see the world around me in a most simple way.  Oh what a beautiful world....

Yet, we don’t have to forget to put God in the loop....
