This is a view from the balcony of my new place.  Hot Shot is one of the horses I care for, a Missouri Foxtrotter, and he is a horse with an attitude.  Did he get his name because he acts like a hot shot, or does he act like a hot shot because he got [...]

Splashing Inside My Chest

March 30, 2010

When the ocean surges, don’t let me just hear it.  Let it splash inside my chest! Rumi I think of all the times that I have missed experiencing life deeply; all the times that life flirts with me, invites me, asks me to dance, and I fail to notice.  I don’t notice because I’m distracted, [...]

Gift from a Vulture

March 26, 2010

Vulture has gifted me in many ways over the years, and I’ll tell you part of that story now–a particularly poignant part.  Vulture seems to show up when I’m about to make a big transition.  It’s as if they are my travel guides during key times.  Indigenous people have long viewed animals and birds as [...]

Infinity in a Feather

March 12, 2010

This hummingbird feather is no bigger than a sunflower seed.  I had to use my macro lens to capture the detail (click on photo).  Some say that hummingbird feathers are magical.  Maybe they’re right because it certainly seems like magic that I have this tiniest, most precious feather. One day while living in Virginia, I [...]

Letting Go

March 3, 2010

This Blue Jay seems to be grasping the branch with all his might.  When he grasps so tightly, he has to place all of his focus right there upon that which he grasps, thus, his focus becomes very small and limited. When I am grasping, clutching, clinging to something, whether onto a belief, idea, person, [...]

Be Overwhelmed!

March 2, 2010

I glanced at this photo recently and thought how beautiful it is.  It’s a unique perspective, isn’t it?  But while the tree provides a really cool frame for the mountain landscape, it is also extremely limiting.  I began wondering about my own limited view.  What are the frames I use to give me a false [...]

Turtle Time

February 24, 2010

I’m on turtle time.  This is my powerful reframe for some past negative beliefs and thoughts I’ve had about myself.  I’m a late bloomer, and there was a time when some others, and I, believed that I was “slow”.   I slept a lot when very young, was painfully shy, didn’t start talking quite on time, [...]

Life is Messy, Don’t Clean it Up

February 23, 2010

This pig seems to understand that life is messy, and he is definitely making the most of it.  I think back on my life and the messes I’ve made.  I’ve come to see that my messes have been much bigger than they would’ve been had I been able to accept that life is messy.  I [...]

Beauty in Decay

February 16, 2010

I have several friends who are in a dark/decay season of their lives.  Somehow I want to honor the beauty of those places.  I want to support my friends to find the richness in those places.  I want to encourage them to stay, just as I am encouraging myself to stay during those times.  By [...]
