Participating in Divinity

"When before the beauty of a sunset or a mountain you pause and exclaim, 'Ah,' you are participating in divinity."
~ Joseph Campbell

Sitting at my desk, screen open, my flowers and I are soaking in this afternoon's red-orange sun.

Is the World

"Is the world a problem?

Is the world an opportunity?
Is this challenge a crisis?
Or is this challenge an opportunity?"

~ Deepak Chopra

Rejoicing In Ordinary Things

"Rejoicing in ordinary things
is not sentimental or trite.
It actually takes guts."

~ Pema Chödrön

Beyond the sounds of the city, I am listening deeply to the sky. So many birds, singing as if just for me. Sweet, light, deep, steady. A concerto. An invitation. 

A celebration.

The Creative Power

"Odd how the creative power at once 

brings the whole universe to order."

~ Virginia Woolf

Finally home from work. A wonderful, full 15,000-step day. Letting the setting sun massage my feet and happy to just soak in the beauty of the dwindling day. Oh, how grateful I am to be alive.

Rose Again

"Courage is not defined by those
who fought and did not fall, 

but by those who fought, fell, and rose again."

~ Adrienne Rich

Delighted by the setting sun, hitting the horizon, and the sky, ablaze with color and courage. Birmingham, Alabama, I am enthralled, grateful, and falling in love with your beauty.
