Sorry for your loss. Perhaps turning off automatic updating will prevent future catastrophes.

In case you are missing the joy of spring, here is a throwback to earlier this year. Rest amidst the bluebells and let it calm your timeline. Feel the warmth in the air and the optimism of new blooms. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

What I call the 'racing stripes' on full display... with a happy male Gambel's Quail showing off his beautiful plumage with the rusty crown and topknot plume topping his head looking one way while his body is walking the other way, into the morning light...

Why should I be unhappy?
Every parcel of my being
is in full bloom.

🕉️ Have a bloomin' #TopKnotTuesday peeps! 🤘😶‍🌫️

"To be silent the whole day long, see no newspaper, hear no radio, listen to no gossip, be thoroughly and completely lazy, thoroughly and completely indifferent to the fate of the world is the finest medicine a man can give himself. "

Henry Miller

"Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their
tribes, their families, their histories too. Talk to them,
listen to them. They are alive poems."

We all had teacher like Mrs Nelson. This is a gentle reminder of the life lessons grown into

There is a great irony in the title, the wisdom being shared on the one day the poet was absent

The line ‘The English lesson was that I am is a complete sentence’ is a poem in itself

Praise Song Praise the light of late November, the thin sunlight that goes deep in the bones. Praise the crows chattering in the oak trees; though they are clothed in night, they do not despair. Praise what little there's left: the small boats of milkweed pods, husks, hulls, shells, the architecture of trees. Praise the meadow of dried weeds: yarrow, goldenrod, chicory, the remains of summer. Praise the blue sky that hasn't cracked yet. Praise the sun slipping down behind the beechnuts, praise the quilt of leaves that covers the grass: Scarlet Oak, Sweet Gum, Sugar Maple. Though darkness gathers, praise our crazy fallen world; it's all we have, and it's never enough. A poem by Barbara Crooker

The Science of Snowflakes Explained Here are eleven facts about snowflake sizes, shapes, colors, and formation that you might not have known.

Millions of hexagonal and symmetrical snowflakes cover my neighborhood, each flake with a unique design. Cloud litter. God's fluffy stuff. #snow #snowflakes #science

Meant to post this yesterday for Thanksgiving, but it's a perfect poem for any day. Good morning!

From Mary Oliver's book, Devotions: bit.ly/devotionsLB

#poem #books #writing

Holding the Light for Kait Rhoads Gather up whatever is glittering in the gutter, whatever has tumbled in the waves or fallen in flames out of the sky, for it's not only our hearts that are broken, but the heart of the world as well. Stitch it back together. Make a place where the day speaks to the night and the earth speaks to the sky. Whether we created God or God created us it all comes down to this: In our imperfect world we are meant to repair and stitch together what beauty there is, stitch it with compassion and wire. See how everything we have made gathers the light inside itself and overflows? A blessing.

Stuart Kestenbaum 🤎

“Stitch it back together.”

Thank You by Ross Gay If you find yourself half naked and barefoot in the frosty grass, hearing, again, the earth’s great, sonorous moan that says you are the air of the now and gone, that says all you love will turn to dust, and will meet you there, do not raise your fist. Do not raise your small voice against it. And do not take cover. Instead, curl your toes into the grass, watch the cloud ascending from your lips. Walk through the garden’s dormant splendor. Say only, thank you. Thank you.

... Walk
through the garden’s dormant splendor.
Say only, thank you.
Thank you.

—Ross Gay

Sunrise: The slightly cloudy sky shows a color gradient from deep purple and pink at the horizon to bright orange and yellow directly around the sun, transitioning into a clear blue in the upper part of the image.

"When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love ..."
Marcus Aurelius

Good morning and a wonderful Thursday!
