Always a Valley

"Always a valley before a hill."
~ American Proverb

Waiting for the sun in morning chill, listening to Kapono Beamer strum classic "Pua Lilia" on my MP3. Gorgeous... Thinking.... How can life be this full and simple?

Happily May I Walk

"Happily may I walk.
May it be beautiful before me.
May it be beautiful behind me.
May it be beautiful below me.
May it be beautiful above me.
May it be beautiful all around me.
In beauty it is finished."
~ Navajo Night Chant

I've got temporary computer problems, so this post requires a bit more technical creativity to post... Ever notice how the sun continues to rise, despite any problem you may have?

Makes me feel good about the beauty of life... and life's possibilities...

Be Thankful

"There is always something
for which to be thankful."
~ Charles Dickens

Light Shining Nearby

"Never fear shadows.
They simply mean
there’s a light shining nearby. "
~ Ruth E. Renkel

My brain is all over the place this morning. I'm on the deck, covered in damp fog, moving fast. Clouds are settling soft. Maybe a sunrise...So much peace and beauty... Sounds below... Roosters, a woodpecker, dogs, cars, silence, a humming motor. Two black crows glide by:

Below, expanses of frozen green grass, dormant. Bare trees salute the blue sky. Where or where is the sun? Glowing light through the clouds. Pretty. I know you're there. Come on...

No drama this morning, just pure, golden light.

Compact of Fire

"Love is a spirit all compact of fire."
~ William Shakespeare

Sky is ablaze with color. Clouds on fire. One of those mornings where my camera isn't going to do this justice.
