For the Love of Color..
March 8, 2010 by admin

I joined a group on Flickr called “for the Love of Color” and each day for one week is designated a different color. Today’s color is Blue. It was just the inspiration I needed to help get my creativity flowing :-) The above heart was made by my nephew about 7 years ago.

Below is some fresh Oregano I’m growing.. thought it was just what the blue plate needed.

The blue glass was found while walking on a small beach today in the late winter air. I felt very lucky to be able to find glass that was today’s color of the day.

“The sun sliced through the windshield, sealing me in light. I closed my eyes and felt the warmth on my eyelids. Sunlight traveled a long distance to reach this planet; an infinitesimal portion of that sunlight was enough to warm my eyelids. I was moved. That something as insignificant as an eyelid had its place in the workings on the universe, that the cosmic order did not overlook this momentary fact.”

Haruki Murakami

An ocean of gratitude…

The Sun reflecting

The waves softly undulating

There is a rhythm to how they move

Choreographed by Mother Nature

Witnessed by me

I am in gratitude

A lesson in flying…

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
~Albert Einstein ~

I was in Boston Gardens walking around when this was taken. There were so many pigeons ..everywhere.. I loved it when they flew all at once. I could feel the breeze from the flutter of their wings and hear the subtle  music made by their feathers. Other people were yelling at them and ducking away in disgust. I found myself being pulled towards the center of them.. having them surround me while they are flying around. I haven’t been in the moment like that for a long time and it just happened naturally and on its own. I guess its better to come across them then to force those moments..

Hope you find yours.

~ Peace ~

Being Thankful..

It’s been a lovely few days with my daughter being home. It feels like she never left and easy to get back to familiarity. It’s comforting.. having her energy here. Wish I could bottle it up and use it through the days she’s not here. We leave on Sunday to go down to Pennsylvania and then she’ll be back home in the middle of December. At least it won’t be as long this time.. :)

Nature’s twinkle lights…
November 18, 2009 by admin

This morning I woke up to a world of twinkle lights that had fallen over the ground. The rising sun and it’s brilliance illuminated the frost the accumulated over the course of the chilly evening. Made for a dazzling display.

Images of my morning…
by admin

This morning when I padded out into the kitchen I was greeted with this lovely  note. It was sitting on my coffee cup in front of the coffeemaker with coffee that had been programed to brew for when I woke up..

These images below are some of what I saw this morning while on my walk after the above coffee was drunk. I was again at the reservoir here in Hallowell. Even though it wasn’t sunny for most of the walk it was warm for this time of year and the scents of Autumn were unmistakable in the air.

Warm love equals gratitude…
November 9, 2009 by admin

Love I’m finding is warm and comforting.

It reassures and calms me.

Gives me hope when I thought before there was none.

Lifts me when I’m feeling low.

When I’m happy it takes me to that next level of Euphoria.

Memories are constantly being made and looking back on our past made memories is like wrapping myself in a comfortable old blanket.

Thank you Michael for being in my life and in my heart as well as showing me what real love is all about.

It may have taken us many years to find one another but it was well worth the wait.

I can’t imagine not having you in my life now.

I love you.
