Snow day!

A moment in winter.

Snow was falling,
so much like stars
filling the dark trees
that one could easily imagine
its reason for being was nothing more
than prettiness.

~ Mary Oliver

It’s possible

All fluffed out for winter.

All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul.  You are here to realize and honor these possibilities.  When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow.  Possibility is the secret heart of time.

~ John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

If we were having coffee

 

Coffee it is best to buy by the bag, as it improves by keeping.  Let it hang in the bag, in a dry place, and it loses its rank smell and taste.

~ Catharine E. Beecher, ‘Miss Beecher’s Domestic Receipt-Book’ (1846)

What the world needs now…

 

When love fills your life all limitations are gone.
The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.

~ Peace Pilgrim

Imprints

Back Creek reflections.

The life and passion of a person leave an imprint on the ether of a place.  Love does not remain within the heart, it flows out to build secret tabernacles in the landscape.

~ John O’Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Marsh light.

Time traveling

D.C. War Memorial, Washington, D.C. (Memorial honoring the 26,000 D.C. citizens who served in World War I.)

Time is not a line but a dimension, like the dimensions of space.  If you can bend space you can bend time also, and if you knew enough and could move faster than light you could travel backward in time and exist in two places at once.

~ Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye
