One of America's icons of beauty is her amber waves of grain. Exactly what does Amber Waves of Grain mean? It is the second lyric in the song "America, the Beautiful." It describes the vastness of field after field of amber-colored wheat grown across the American plains. Wheat...the food staple found in breads, cereals, pastas, cakes, canned soups, frozen vegetables, sauces, dips, root beer, desserts, ...even ice cream, ice cream cones, sherbets, puddings, chocolate and chewing gum all contain wheat! WHEW! Think about what the world would be like without those amber waves of grain!
[Unless the label says otherwise, it is almost safe to assume that the product contains wheat.]
Today, Awakenings is proud to feature Marcy @Hot Rod Cowgirl who is Riding Through Life One Horse At A Time...Courage Is Being Scared To Death But Saddling Up Anyway! Marcy is a true American who captures America the beautiful not only with her poignant words but also her awesome photography.

Let's join Marcy...
Lies a field of amber
durum wheat
Where footsteps of ghostly laborers
Tread among its lofty, slender stalks
Where footsteps of ghostly laborers
Tread among its lofty, slender stalks
Visions unlock
scattered memories
Of a holiday in the
countryside
Where within the
ardor of autumn
Lay noonday siestas and midday walks
Photographs, hand-written
diaries
Faded memory at
its best
Connect past with the present
As I ponder to still remember
Connect past with the present
As I ponder to still remember
Ripples of grain ebb
like the ocean
When dew adorns the
tips of the spikes
Whilst golden wheat is
set against
Morning azures of
September
A journey down the
highway
Begs leaning out
the window
Storing mental images
While touched by misty rain
Storing mental images
While touched by misty rain
Lofty, slender
stalks
Sway within the mist
Evoking America—
"Amber waves of grain"
Sway within the mist
Evoking America—
"Amber waves of grain"

A Bit of Catnip...
Isn’t life completely surrounded by the raw touch of nature? Captivating moments are right before our eyes, music to our ears, within our very grasp and under our noses waiting to be enjoyed. To inevitably understand living, we must observe life at its best, listen to life’s songs, embrace life’s bounties, breathe the breath of life and savor life to its fullest!
The beliefs behind Catnip of Life, aka catnipoflife, expose nature as a diamond in the rough and its power to heal. Poetic verses reveal openness to the world around us and how simple everyday happenings and observances make a difference, not only in our lives but also in the lives of others.
