Soon It Will Begin

    

         Spring will soon be here! The beginning of all that is new. And the sweet sound of birds to sing for us too!

Just Being

I think of how comfortable it is to slow down in winter, to concentrate on the infinite pleasures of just being in the world — not doing, not resolving, not producing, not winning, not succeeding — just being.

Winter's Cycle

A day of ebb and flow

melting and freezing a continuous cycle.

It could be when the sun shines brightly -

when water reflects sun.

The Blessing of Welcome

Such a blessing -- every morning,

                          some new combination of shapes and colors

                                    to welcome us into the new day.

Tis a Gift to be Simple

          

We get caught up in the drama of our lives

                      and forget, sometimes, how small a speck we are

against the vast expanse of interstellar space,

and even more, forget how precious 

every other speck might also be...

First Birds of the Day

A Pella Window

               This window depicts the old world feel and charm of Pella Iowa. A step back in time to  Holland. This town has seemed to withstand the ravages of time. Still old and quaint; a fun place I love to visit. The food, architecture,and customs remain as a reminder of a culture and time that seems be fading, as these types of small towns disappear  from the fabric or our landscapes to accommodate the newness of today's society.
