Bird Calling
I
looked
up
to a light blue
sky
with a sliver of the
moon
still there.
I
looked up
to see a golden
yellow
crowning the treetops.
No bird still—
instead, morning
silence
gracing a
brand new day.

“Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson
Another quote I have on my desk:
“Well-behaved women rarely make history.”
This quote is often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, Anne Boleyn, or Marilyn Monroe, but it was actually written by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich in a 1976 academic paper.
Both quotes—so true, so true.

Why do I
seek refuge in
Nature and
Earth?
Because it is where
I
hear Him
the loudest.

Silence comes quietly,
fills the woods.
I am a child of the
woods,
where my spirit soars.
Morning rising—
eagles fly.

Celestial light
on wings of water,
rainbows gathered,
and waves inherit
the spirits of souls.

Canadian bedrock,
granite over 3 billion
years old—
their
aura
overwhelming … whispers:
I am alive
I am alive
She heard them.
She felt their history.

A lack of belief in yourself makes you cling to the comforts and material possessions of someone else. What we tell ourselves determines who we are and shapes our future. Often, what we tell ourselves keeps us from becoming who we truly are.
Ask yourself:
Do I have new thoughts?
Am I walking the same way?
Am I afraid of rocking the boat?
Do I love the same way?
Do I pray the same way?
Do I have the same goals?
Do I know why I am here?
Do I knock?
Do I open?
Am I willing to change?

Live with the wind
the summer rain
the humming of a
hummer's wings
live with the flowers in
your garden
live with the yellow bird
at the feeder
live with the kiss from the
earth
and scatter your seeds
everywhere.

Watching two
birds soar
within the energy of an
air current.
Their movement is
wonderful, delightful,
so glorious. And
the beauty of it all
is that their
movement leaves
no trace.

I sit
alone
river calm
fishing rod
in hand
early morning
mist
sun's rays
touching
the dew
it matters not
if the fish bite
rather it is
the mornings
hello, I
seek.

You are what you see. How you see is part of your spirit. Is the way you see creative?
How I see is not a static, flat view like a photo gives us, But, rather, I see as a dynamic ever changing, ever creative view of life happening. It is the dynamic dance of life and sight.
I was standing under a canopy of entwined branches covered with snow. The sun was shining through the light snow giving the canopy a stained glass feel – a very magical moment of light, life and sight.
