Making The Rounds ~

"We shall not cease from exploration

 and the end of all our exploring will be

 to arrive where we started

 and know the place for the first time."

 T. S. Eliot

*  *  *

there is an abundance

of these little critters here

brought into eat the aphids 

from the soy bean fields

a few years back

*  *  *

you can read a bit about it

A Dwelling Place ~

a pleasant room

 reminders

 of

 God's faithfulness

  appointments kept

*  *  *

so good to be home again

"In difficult times,

 you should always carry something

 beautiful in your mind."

 Blaise Pascal

The Imaginary Voyage ~

I imagine

my grandmother

at the age of 3

sailing from Sweden

to another world across the sea

I've no way

of knowing whether

she actually sipped tea from

this delicate cup with the spring violets

 

I do know she loved beauty

practiced hospitality

and lived kindly

*  *  *

 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers:

 for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Hebrews 13:2 

 

Midway ~

Sunday morning rush hour

as viewed from the

 mid-point

of the driveway

it was a mighty fine day

*  *  *

Life does not move so fast,
that there is not enough

 time for courtesy.
Let there always be time, too,

 for sharing,
and for gratitude. 

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

No Limits ~

 all journeys

have

secret destinations

of which

the traveler is unaware

Going Where? ~

"We're so busy

watching

out

for what's just

ahead

of
us

that we don't take time

to enjoy

where we are"

Calvin

Hobbes
