Most Assuredly ~

assuredly

 the grass withers

the word of the Lord

stands forever

1 Peter 1:24-25

*  *  * 

I have always looked upon decay

 as being just as wonderful and

 rich an expression of

 life as growth.

Henry Miller

1891-1980

Seasonal Preparation ~

each preparing for the season

that lies ahead in their own unique way

*  *  *

The invariable mark of wisdom is to see
 the miraculous in the ordinary.

A Little Stroll ~

I have a friend visiting

 and we took a little stroll

 along the driveway

 and checked

 the progress of

 the milkweed

food for the monarchs

and observed the other

wild grasses blooming

in between the rain showers

*  *  *

it was a very fine day

To A Different Tune ~

(a little click will enlarge)

Soon they will be cut down

by the county road crew

in the meantime

they are dancing to the wind's song

"The appearance of things changes according to the emotions;

 and thus we see magic and beauty in them,

 while the magic and beauty are really in ourselves."
Kahil Gibran

In Sync ~

"Starlight and comet tails burned

 the tips of

 endless grass below into

 hammered silver.

 Like thousands of tapers in the chapel

just blown out but still glowing.

 If one could drown in the grass

it might be 

the best way to die."

 Gregory Maguire

savoring summer's gold

dancing in time with

morning's light

Pneuma ~

sometimes it takes

the breath of

kindness

 to part

the irrelevant

so you can see 

that

for which you seek

**  **

ORIGIN

pneuma

 Greek, literally ‘that which is breathed or blown.’

A Withered Fading ~

the grass withers

the flower fades

but the word of our God

shall stand forever

Isaiah 40:8

Quietness ~

may your day

be

filled

with peace

and

in quietness

may

you find strength
