Ordinary....and yet NOT!!

How many times do we look?

How many times do we see? 

See What? you say.

I see the flowers...they're nice.

Ah...there is so much more...

when I take the time to really look.

with my heart and my head.

Vibrant color

Soft petals

A family of blossoms

along one strong branch
and the branch
is held aloft
by other members of the family.

Artistry in shape, color and design

fragile and yet so strong.

The one long branch holding 

numerous stems

and 

the stems

carry the blossoms!

They are so beautiful 

and ordinary...

and yet

they are also 

magnificent

delicate

bold

and 

breath taking!!

Ordinary...and yet..Not.

Dear Golden Moon

Thank you

for your generous light

flaming bright in the night sky

and

highlighting

the rippling

waves

dancing in the shadows!!

A friend shared a reflection on the words of  Spirit..

"Let there be light"...

How often I've read and heard those words...

and yet today

I have spent more time..

aware of Light...

The orange sky this morning at sunrise...

The golden sun hovering over the trees tonight

with dark clouds in the sky...

The gentle blue of the sky peeking through as the dark clouds 

began to move...

and even more

a deepening awareness of all those 

who have been 

and continue to be 

light in my life...

human and non human.

What better gift at Christmas

then to truly see the light

within us

and around us.

Thank you,

for your light,

enjoy seeing the light

and 

Being the Light!!

A time of re-birth and re-connection....

May this Christmas Season

be a time of 

rebirth and re-connection.

A rebirth of and a deeper understanding of

 our Family Connection

to Mother Earth and all Beings

The gift of diversity and cultures 
as well as,
The gift of so many creatures
who give their lives daily,
that the rest of the family
can be nourished and fed.

May this deeper sense of FAMILY

help us to see all Beings

with renewed eyes

and an open heart.

May we come to know 

what a Gift we have 

as One Family.

It's time to re-connect and know
the mix and gifts
of our extended Family!!

I want to say thank you...

I want to say Thank you

Dear Mother Earth

for all you give each day.

I want to send you my love

to support and strengthen you

as you deal with the choices

we in the human family make

without your life or needs in mind.

Keep me mindful of all that you give...

open my eyes anew

open my heart.

May I choose each day to love and strengthen 

you

as you love and strengthen me.

Simple words of thanks...

Simple words of love...

as I/We

see your beauty...

feel your sun, wind and rain....

touch your soil, plants, flowers and rocks.

Eat of your fruits and grains.

Together

We are family...

Together

We nourish and feed each other...

I want to say thank you..

Today

and 

Every day!

I love you.
