Osprey Acrobatics

May 17, 2011

It’s quiet with a gentle breeze.  Sipping water, soaking up sun on dock–taking needed break.  Looking up, I see Osprey Raptor.  She is hunting.  Her skills astound me.  I breathe in the beauty and wonder.  Lifting high, then diving toward the water.  She is remarkable.  She dances, inspiring me–and then Osprey Raptor is gone.  Osprey [...]

March 23, 2011

I sat on the balcony watching the horses.  At the end of the pasture, I noticed a large cloud of yellow pollen roll in like thick fog.  Springtime in Georgia!  The pollen is everywhere and on everything.  Nothing escapes–especially my eyes and nose.  As I sat watching the cloud of pollen, I smiled.  This is [...]

Life is like a Rosebush

March 9, 2011

Yesterday, I cut back the rosebushes in preparation for summer.  I discovered that one must be quite careful with rosebushes!  Gloves and long sleeves are handy.  Gingerly handling the bushes is beneficial.  Patience and full attention are helpful.  Respect is necessary.

Springtime Reminds Me

March 3, 2011

“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.”  Abraham Lincoln Springtime reminds me to let go of the old and let bloom the new.  [...]

It’s the Little Things

February 17, 2011

I have a practice that I am incorporating into my day increasingly.  The practice takes as little as 45 seconds to complete. Let me give you a couple of examples as to how it works.  The other day I stepped out onto my balcony and saw hundreds of red-winged black birds foraging in the horse [...]
