Small Portals of Light

 


Featured image: Chickadee in the Rain

small portals of light

keep pulling me into 

the woods to listen and watch

the beautiful mystery of life

it is raining today

long needed rain

raindrops

landing on the soft 

amber and russet leaves

form a canopy

above

i become still

listen

to the music 

of the 

natural

Outside

Being outside provides us a moment to access our truest selves, the person we usually are.

Every breath I take when I am outside is as important as uniqueness and one-of-a-kindness.

Mind Untangles

“In the vast silence, there are moments when one seems suspended between heaven and earth.”  Sigurd Olsen

the loud peacefulness

of the outdoors

little bird silently

move from branch to

branch

to the feeder

silence has it own

sound

in October, preparing

for change

peace in the autumn

woods

mind untangled
