Life is beautiful/precious. It’s hard, too; a steep hill. We all know so. We’ve chronic doubt, fear, anxiety, anger. Still, societies prioritize power/wealth over self-awareness, love, compassion, connection. It’s crazy. The cost to humanity/the world? Sigh. Let’s wake up. #Hill #DailyPictureTheme

Does it count as a prayer if you anguish over the pain in the world, long for humanity to heal, and pursue the solace of compassion, connection, and community?

On this day, our winter walk in the forest gave us stillness and peacefulness… and pure tranquility as an elixir for the soul.

I’m working hard (loving every step) on my second novel. Here’s a peek at the latest version of the cover. Constructive critique is welcomed. Note: the description on the back is accurate to the story but not yet finalized (more for design purpose). #novel #bookcover #creative #fiction #critique

We all need someone to love us like little kitten, Shoelace, loved big girl, Lenscap. In this pic, Shoelace is a few months old and Lenscap is 21. Lenscap crossed the rainbow bridge a few days after this photo. ❤️ #DailyPictureTheme #need

Life is often intense,

So, I walk in the woods…

Where I breathe in the sweet air as if it is an elixir… and I lean on the trees for their wisdom.

How magical life would be to live in grace every moment.

We think it’s impossible… something to contemplate.

PS This pic is of a garden ornament my parents bought me thirty years ago.

When thoughts are sparse, and the mind settles, a peaceful aliveness grows. May you all know self-compassion, wisdom, and generosity of heart. #DailyPictureTheme #sparse

The land, still frozen, tenderly holds the water so as not to disturb it. The silence is beautiful. The splendour is enchanting. Such power. Such peacefulness. I wonder what it thinks of me? #Spoutories #frozen

Within the forest is a peaceful aliveness. Wisdom flows there. Listen to trees. Learn to speak their language. Walk amongst the wisest of teachers. Stand in awe and with reverence. Every passing season has a story, and the tree roots hold them all. #DailyPictureTheme #forest

Low to the ground the foliage has turned burnt orange. When the sun casts its light upon the sprawling leaves of these bushes, from afar they appear as if they are smouldering flames. Trail walks will smooth the soul. #DailyPictureTheme #low

“Courage has many faces,” said the wise man. “Sometimes, it means entering the storm not knowing whether you’ll make it through. Other times, it means resilience after the storm has passed. Often, it means looking within.” #DailyPictureTheme #courage

The other day, for no reason other than being alive at that moment, I felt profoundly content. I wondered how is it that this feeling cannot stay? Ah, well, I thought, I’ll just surrender to it so deeply, at the very least, in times of darkness, the memory, like a guardian angel, will watch over me.

During the holidays, I hope many of you have family who support & love you. Not everyone has that. Let’s remember that this time of year is tough for people who are on their own. It can be an extra lonely time. So send a thought of love into the world. There’s always someone who can use it.

“Wish upon the bottle of blue, and the love you dream will come true,” said the wise oak tree. “Add a white flower to increase its power,” said the sparrow nestled within her leaves. “And be kind,” said the rainbow.

Love is love.

The fact that I’ve learned as much as I have over the years, and I’ve learned a lot, just proves to me that I’ve got much more to learn, more than I can fit into one lifetime. Next time, (pls let there be one) I’m going to pay attention much sooner. Awareness is the gift that keeps on giving. #life

“I don’t know,” said Harvey chewing on a piece of straw. “He doesn’t look happy to me. He looks… startled.” Charlie lifted his hat from his head. “Ah, shucks, Harvey. Give him a break, he don’t do glee in his old age. Besides, he’s tryin’ to look cool for barn.” #DailyPictureTheme #glee

The wide, majestic view gave Joseph a glimpse of raw beauty and steadfast power. This, he thought, is just what I need. From that point forward, he used the inspiration of the Icelandic landscape to forge his path into an uncertain future. #DailyPictutreTheme #wide

“What is beauty?” asked the stranger, tipping his hat. The people pointed at this and that, but they did not know.
“Beauty is blurry. Is is joy, sorrow, young, old, near, far, life… death. Look at a blade of grass. Listen to a tree. Feel the beating of your own heart.” #DailyPictureTheme #blurry
