A Whisper ~

a wind
of
modest demeanor
whispered
its
invitation
unfolding in softness
and
quiet delight
~ ~ ~
these are cattails
that
have burst

the

seed

is incredibly soft
and
can grow only if it lands in water

Worship ~

"worship

is

a

way

of

seeing

the world

in

the light

of

God"

Abraham Herschel
~ ~ ~
My heart and prayers go out to one
of our fellow bloggers
in
the loss of her husband.

Dream Well ~

“Refuse to be average.

Let your heart soar as high as it will.”

November's Song ~

Restfully listening,

I hear the guttural chuck, chuck chucking of the partridge

as they forage for food

where the woods meets the yard.

The chickadees sing their chick-a-dee deeing song

as they swoosh back and forth from feeder to tree,

burying seed in trunk crevices, sustenance for the winter storms.

The day dims various shades of browns and grays

as the sun disappears

behind an opaque sky blanket.

Wind takes on a low intermittent moan reminiscent of harder times.

The day mourns change, the sky leaden, as branches do a slow dance of anticipation.

The rain stutters briefly in a soft voice then fades.

My heart quiets

in the whispers of His song.

Time Change ~

"BACKWARD, turn backward, O Time, in your flight,
Make me a child again just for to-night!"

Emmaus Road ~

in the unfamiliar

the

hedged in

the

solitary

the

less traveled

I

don't always

recognize

Him

but

my heart

knows

He walks with me

Wisdom by Pooh ~

“When having

a

smackerel of something

with a friend,

don't eat so much

that you get stuck in the doorway

trying to get out.”

Winnie the Pooh

when civility
falls
by
the wayside

it appears

there's

more

than one way

to

get

what 

you want

~ ~ ~

I'll confess

I'm easily amused

by

sights such as this

{a character flaw of sorts}

but

a person's gotta wonder about

the future of that sheep

A Golden Time ~

may

blessing

overtake you

 and

your heart

be

filled

with gratitude

as

we begin a new month

these are Tamarck trees

also known

as

American Larch

they shed their needles in the autumn

unlike

the dark green spruce tree

in the lower

right corner which

retains its needles year round
