The Sounds of Moving Water

2020 04-08, 4548 - THE SOUNDS OF MOVING WATER – Most people are drawn to the sounds of moving water, whether at the shore, at the edge of a babbling brook, or even at a water feature in one’s house. All we need to do is open a window and we hear the spring runoff in our little brook. It helps ground us.

2020 04-07, 4547 - A WINDOW INTO THE PAST – I took a photo while visiting a Mayan ruin in Mexico a couple of months ago that reminds me of looking through a window into the past. We all have a window into our past by visiting the history of our soul. That may be a guide to our future

Ready for Occupancy
|
2020 04-06, 4546 - READY FOR OCCUPANCY – The bird houses our son made are scattered throughout the land and are ready for occupancy. Soon the bluebirds and barn swallows will battle it out to see who claims ownership for the season. In this time of a new normal, Nature provides us a stable view of life.

2020 04-05, 4545 - COMING ALIVE – I paused at the edge of the Center’s little frog pond and observed the green shoots sticking out of the water and the plants in the bottom coming alive as spring moves through April. It is a time to focus on Nature and its positive lessons.

The Kittens Are Loose
|
2020 04-04, 4544 - THE KITTENS ARE LOOSE – Another welcome sign that the seasons are changing are the blooms of the fuzzy pussy willows here in the foothills. Each day now I will be able to watch the progress of Nature as she welcomes back the missing pieces that have been absent through the winter.

2020 04-03, 4543 - NO TWO SUNSETS ARE THE SAME – I am fascinated by sunsets and sunrises. They are never the same. Actually no two days are the same. No two hours are the same; no two seconds are the same; no two moments in life are the same. What we do in that moment just might make a difference.

Doing the Spring Two-Step
|
2020 04-02, 4542 - DOING THE SPRING TWO-STEP – Spring is an awkward dance between the clash of seasons. One day it is summer and the next day it is winter. Yet, the music of the returning birds and the rush of the water in the brook is proof the dance is moving towards a positive finale.
