Maria Sangiolo

I start each morning with a cup of tea, and then a walk. Not a brisk, lose weight walk, but a saunter. Taking time to notice what exists around me in the woods and my yard, I listen to the sounds of nature’s beautiful chorus. Reverently breathing in and out, slowly waking up to the rising sun, the damp air, the feel of the soft, soggy earth beneath my feet.

“All that the human heart contains of evil should disappear at the contact of nature, that most immediate expression of the beautiful and the good.” Leo Tolstoy

“I heard the angel of music riding in the backseat of my parent’s blue Chevy wagon.”
