I really loved this meditation I got in my inbox this morning:
I thank You God for this most amazing day ; For the leaping greenly
spirits of trees and a blue dream of sky ; and for everything which is
natural which is infinite which is yes.

Today I will notice. If possible, I will walk outside and look for
dandelions and new green buds on bushes and trees. I will look
for blackbirds building nests and robins digging worms. I will look
at the clouds and try to name the color of the sky. I will notice the
color of light and the shadows made by buildings, clotheslines and
fences.
Today I will listen, really listen to the sounds made by birds, traffic,
church bells, and the construction workers. I will try to hear children
laughing, dogs barking, cars honking and the wind.
Today I will hug a tree and hold my hand against the ground. I will
notice how my skin feels when the cool breeze blows against the
back of my neck.I will caress my naked body, walk barefoot in the
grass, and enjoy the warm sun on my face. Today is my day to pay
attention and give thanks.
I give thanks for all my senses. They are all I need to know God.
