I drove in the gently falling snow at midnight to pick up Kayla from Asheville airport. The night was beautiful, but not as beautiful as her smiling face. I had such a good trip to Hawaii in November/December and it sounds like her trip there was wonderful as well. We have bridged the long distance--of land and sea and moments--with love.

With Kayla home, my heart is so full. These photographs I just took of the sun are too lovely. I cannot decide this morning, so will post two. And play the Young Rascals, one of my Aunty Georgia's favorites...

Are present in my thoughts today."
~ Phoebe Cary

Cold outside, but this will be my first clear sunrise in days. Very happy... This golden moment, before my sun crests, is pure thanksgiving. All problems are replaced with joy and gratitude. It is the most amazing gift... And now, all I need do is breathe in her golden rays...

For @primalmarks, waiting in Texas...

"Love changes darkness into Light
and makes the Heart take a wingless flight."
~ Helen Steiner Rice

It is truly lovely here this morning. So enjoy watching the colors of sky change; only natural to offer prayers to the sky. ...Magnificent colors! Red sky. Glorious clouds. Wowee! http://twitpic.com/6l661p ...Need a wider lens. Heart overflowing with clouds.

I Rediscover

"I invent nothing. I rediscover."
~ Auguste Rodin

There's gold along the ridge; the sun is coming, with it, the perfect sounds of morning. http://twitpic.com/6kq4yi ...I love how the sun sparkles behind the tree branches just before it crests the ridge. Fireworks of gold and orange.

Divine Things

2011-09-13T08:03:00.003-04:00

"Human things must be known to be loved:
but Divine things must be loved to be known."
~ Blaise Pascal

Red glow. Sun close to crest. Mist, fine. Chilly: http://twitpic.com/6kadpo ...Yes, I am now playing with the sun: http://twitpic.com/6kaff6 ...Bathed in sunlight. Me & Kolo: #joy http://twitpic.com/6kahhh ...Trying new things. "stepping lightly & feeling no pain;" out of my comfort zone, for sure. Highly recommend the leap.

Ongoing Guts

2011-09-12T07:26:00.002-04:00

"Everything is writable about
if you have the ongoing guts to do it,
and the imagination to improvise.
The worst enemy to creativity is self doubt."
~ Sylvia Plath

Roosters crow & crows fly against sky. Waiting for my sun. http://twitpic.com/6jttno...
My heart is on overdrive.

My Heart

2011-09-11T07:28:00.002-04:00

"I will greet the day with love in my heart."
~ Og Mandino

Not a cloud in the sky & the horizon glows orange to back light my Pisgah Forest ridge...
Lucky. Have so many blessings. I count them as I walk around my garden, waiting for the sun...
Wow. That was a good one.

Please Notice

2011-09-10T07:30:00.003-04:00

"I urge you to please notice
when you are happy,
and exclaim or murmur or think
at some point,
'If this isn't nice,
I don't know what is.'"
~ Kurt Vonnegut
Man Without a Country

The ridge glows golden and I (with the gentle mist and fog) wait for the sun: Morning aloha...
All golden light. Blazing... This morning's sun is honey fire, creative turbo light...

Holy Spirit

Interpret My Dreams

2011-09-08T08:05:00.003-04:00

"I was not looking for my dreams to interpret my life,
but rather for my life to interpret my dreams."
~ Susan Sontag

The clouds are a whirling magic display. Rising, moving beauty... Now orange blazes the sky. More! Spectacular cloud & light show here on the ridge this morning. Absolutely remarkable.

Journey

2011-09-06T09:05:00.002-04:00

"Success is not a destination; it is a journey. The happiest people I know are those who are working toward specific objectives. The most bored and miserable people I know are those who are drifting along with no worthwhile objectives in mind."
~ Zig Ziglar

The ground is soaked with rain. The wind is whipping. Trees are dancing wildly. Chilly rain and gradual light... Tremendous wind. Glorious sky!

Leap

2011-09-04T07:31:00.002-04:00

"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, and the solution comes to you, and you don't know how or why.”
~ Albert Einstein

Someone... an angel perhaps... scrawled swirls of orange doodles on this morning's hazy gray sky... Maybe it's the jet trails of her angel wings?

Harmony

2011-09-03T07:39:00.003-04:00

The clouds are a rainbow of colors reaching across the horizon...

"Happiness is when what you think,
what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Hopeful Gardeners

2011-09-02T07:26:00.003-04:00

"Help us to be the always hopeful gardeners of the spirit who know that without darkness nothing comes to birth, as without light nothing flowers."
~ May Sarton

Dawn is purple pink. The color of iris dreams... The horizon radiates red where the sun will rise. There's haze, clean air, and promise... And then my sun just hangs there, glowing orange gold. A mirage, a talisman... The close up is stunning, but today, let me pull back as far as I can because the mountain contours are a resting lover...

True Joy

2011-09-01T07:31:00.004-04:00

"Without kindness there can be no true joy."
~ Thomas Carlyle

First thought this morning, I woke up with the notion of radiating kindness to others, like the sun... Then watched this sunrise. :) Aloha!

Overwhelmed that the sun has reflected my heart's thoughts with kind rays that extend out with brilliant love...

Energy

Glorious Asheville sun! You are magnificent this morning. All golden glow. My heart soars...

Oh, this sun!

Bond Between Earth & Sky

2011-08-22T08:21:00.001-04:00

"In the mythic tradition, the Mountain is the bond between Earth and Sky. Its solitary summit reaches the sphere of eternity, and its base spreads out in manifold foothills into the world of mortals. It is the way by which man can raise himself to the divine and by which the divine can reveal itself to man."
~ Rene Daumal, Mount Analogue
