Facing Sacred Moments

     It is tempting to want the answers before we begin the journey. We like to have maps. We like to have guides. But we are more like a breathing puzzle, a living bag of pieces, and each day shows us what a piece or two is for, where it might go, how it might fit. Over time, a picture starts to emerge by which we begin to understand the pieces and how and where they fit. Just as these beautiful images of the trumpet swans helped place a few pieces of my puzzle and where they are to fit.

Not Wild


      Found these buffalo at the Neil Smith Wildlife Refuge. These animals are very tame and seem to like people. Unlike the ones encountered in Yellowstone National Park. These massive buffalo actually came up to the car and stood around. I think the wild ones leave one with a nostalgia of the past. 


       There are so many pleasures that allow me to delight in the present moment. The beauty of this barn is in that moment.
