Transforming

Source: WeHeartIt

We all are in stages of change

Transforming…

Becoming…

Doing…

Being…

It is not always easy

Yet …

Something as simple

as a walk in the woods

watching a sunset or sunrise …

moonlight and stars

connecting with nature …

or …

one of nature’s creatures

so we realize we are only

a tiny piece of something

so much bigger than ourselves

… and healing can begin

Autumn Delight

Source: Unknown

The universe gives us gifts

should we choose to pay attention

Each and every season has unique

and rare gifts to share

But…

The gifts of Autumn are the

most special to me

Jeweled toned leaves that

change the view daily are

are not only a constant

but amazing delight to me

Like an ever-changing

panoramic slide show

giving me awe and wonder

in their brilliant colors

Even after they begin to

fall and blanket the ground

and road ways their

brilliance continues …

Poet David Whyte said it best:

“… a shimmering bed of

dry leaves …”

Inviting the child in me

to pile them up and enjoy

the fun of falling into

a pile of nature’s jewels …

Surprise

Source: We Heart ItRoad 

I love when I see things

in nature that are respected

 

A tree in the middle of a

country road that splits

to give it a right-or-way

 

A plant forcing its way through

pavement to reach the warming

sun and give beauty to everyone

 

A splash of pink bonnets in a

field of blue

My yard covered in yellow

primroses every night

blooming in the dark

 

A surprise for only me

to see or a surprise

far away for everyone

to enjoy

 

Nature is full of wonder

full of mysteries to

surprise and delight

each of us if we only

slow down and take

time to really see what

surrounds us daily

Earth Day – Day 22 April PAD

Earth Day

Today brings the

uncertainty and

potential violence

of nature

 

Typical Spring

weather in Texas

Potentially dangerous

storm with

deadly lightning…

torrential rain…

damaging winds…

golf-ball sized hail…

And..

Tornadoes…

 

Mother Nature in

all her power on

the one day to

celebrate her glory…

 

Just a typical

Texas Spring Day…

Morning Mystery

Source: We Heart It

Crystal clear black sky

Stars high clear diamonds

hanging finger tip close

 

Walking in the crisp darkness

A stillness is broken by a

strange sound of rushing water

 

Yet…

 

Only an aural illusion…

The cold north wind moving

through the remaining tree

leaves gives the sound of

moving water…

a rushing stream…

that isn’t there

 

What a gift!

The morning undisturbed

but for this mystery of

Nature…

Lone Owl…

Source: We Heart It

A pre-dawn walk

the wonders of nature

in the October crisp air

 

My day just waking

as night tries to hold

the covers tight and 

isn’t willing to give

up night’s beauty

 

Crystal clear sky

Stars so close they

can be touched

 

And…

 

A lone owl demanding

‘Whoo’

is invading the beauty

of his peaceful dark domain…

Morning Surprise!

Source: We Heart It

Frog?…

Toad?…

I know not which

Not being versed in

the difference

 

Regardless..

This tiny creature was in

the outside water bowl

this morning

The bowl I keep at 

my backdoor for thirsty

neighborhood critters

 

It has been decades

since I have seen one

Decades…

since I lived far North

of where I now am

and a family of three

lived in the sand

around my front porch

 

Making their classic

sounds and catching

flies and dreaded

mosquitoes

Burrowing deep in

the sand to escape

the heat of the day 

to come out at 

twilight and grace

me their presence

 

A morning surprise…

Does this mean the

drought is ending?

Hopefully, this little

swimmer will not be 

a tasty snack for

a hungry barncat!

Nature’s Freedom

Source: We Heart It

Listening…

Letting it all

settle in around

my shoulders like

a new white eyelet dress

 

The sounds of Spring

Birds of all kind

singing their songs

chattering with one another…

sharing secrets

 

The humming of bees

Sweet sound of honey

in the making

Golden Blessings

 

Gentle breezes

drifting around me

carrying Spring

 

Nature’s Freedom…

Spring in full bloom 

flowers…

trees…

grass…

 

gentle breezes…

thunderstorms…

renewal…

restoring…

refreshing…

 

The faces of 

Nature…

Summer Time

Image: Google

Splashes of blue

and purple on

a field of white

 

My favorite colors

repeated over and

over again on my

eyelet sundress

 

The one you love

for me to wear

The one that

holds memories

 

It makes me

smile to see the 

light in your eyes

 

Knowing what

is planned later

A country drive

in your convertible

to worship nature

and each other
