Essence of Life

Ever think about
how life is a challenge?
it is the essence of it
Yet, under that
is the Source – Love
What else
would Love do?

Life is Good

Groundhog standin’ up
on the prairie-like hillock
surveying his backyard
“Ah!” he thinks
“Life is good!”
He just doesn’t
think it with words
He feels it
in his bones…

Nature’s Glory

Once, there was a little boy
who climbed to the top
of a tree and leaned on the wind
 
He was exalted
in the midst of Nature
——————————
Now, as a grown man
he still feels the glory of it!

Unruffled Beyond Her Feathers

Today’s image is a simple drawing done in colored pencil. I do enjoy just simply drawing. The characters and faces that show up for me to capture  with pencil, pen or paint are always familiar somehow and yet each unique. There have been a couple that show up more than once, but not many.

Weaving Beauty

A vine twines
amongst the garden
 
Attaching, connecting
weaving beauty
 
May the web of life
be ever as strong
and beauteous, always
Burrowing Owl

Burrowing Owl

Owl

 

This little owl was one of many (I don’t know – maybe 20?) who  live  in the medians between parking space rows in a huge parking lot  in this city. As the sun lowered in the West, they all came out of their burrows and lined up facing the sunset in silent observance of the closing of the day.  I felt honored to be able to observe them in their sacred solemnity.
