In Due Season ~

(a little click will enlarge)

 the arrival of spring

 seems slow

this year

perhaps

 it is

 my patience

that is wanting

*  *  *

For the vision is yet for an appointed time,

 but at the end it shall speak,

 and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it;

 because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:3

What Do You See? ~

(a little click will help you see)
Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a bulb,

 a lovely garden in a seed,

 and a giant oak in an acorn.
William Arthur Ward

and I suspect the  squirrel

 and the chipmunk

see dinner

Luke 17:6

Reflecting ~

"Our thoughts are quieter than rivers,

 Our loves are simpler than the trees,

 Our prayers deeper than the sea."

 Thomas Merton

the ice hasn't gone

 off of the lakes

 yet this year

*  *  *

for everything a season

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Bowing Boughs ~

“Listen to the trees talking in their sleep,"

she whispered,

as he lifted her to the ground.

"What nice dreams they must have!”

Preparation ~

  

Winter Trees

by

William Carlos Williams

|| || ||

all the complicated details

of the attiring

and

the disattiring

are completed

a

liquid moon

moves gently among

the long branches

thus having prepared

their buds

against a sure winter

the wise trees

stand sleeping

in the cold

Endless Effort ~

"trees

 are the

earth's endless effort

 to speak

to the listening heaven"

Rabindranath Tagore

Branching Out ~

A Quote

"Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,

  How beautiful it is?

   All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness

  There is a poem, there is a song.

  Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.

  When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with the music of many leaves,

 Which in due season fall and are blown away.

  And this is the way of life." 
Krishnamurti

Being ~

in the stillness

  quiet

in the beauty

  joy

in the light

  strength

For a great day ~

Living structure ...

Clarity in reflection ...

  Purpose with passion ...

Transition ~

"Come," said the Wind to the leaves one day.

"Come over the meadow and we will play.

Put on your dresses of red and gold.

For summer is gone and the days grow cold."

and

time

marches on

and on

Wisdom in the woods

If trees could talk ...

I suspect this one
would have
quite a lot to say

   

You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; 

the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, 

and all the trees of the field 

will clap.

Isaiah 55:12
