Past

Others

kbsitepicscene076“So I begin to understand that some things are for the mind to handle.  Others are for the heart.

And it’s important to know which is which.”

Retreat

kbsitepicscene075And so a retreat of sorts, remembering what is important to me.

Nowhere near the shape of summer I had hoped for, a lesson in expectations.

I suppose that’s the downside of being able to envision, something so beautiful it’s hard not to hope.

But I will hope.

Still do.

Reminded

kbsitepicscene074And finally I was reminded

that there is beauty

long after the sun has set.

Slowly

kbsitepicscene073Slowly I became aware of the sky.

Stepping Away

kbsitepicscene072

Stepping away for a moment, I turned and saw this.

Tiny

kbsitepicscene071I love this small flower for its tiny perfect beauty

and for where it chose to grow

Thanks

kbsitepicscene070From doing what was needed for others

now a time to walk with my own sense of life

but a moment before moving on

to be still…

thanks for what has brought me here

thanks for what is here

may it be honoured

in doing

and in being

Wish

kbsitepicscene069And so it’s been a time

of saying goodbye

to people, to places

seldom by choice, these goodbyes

but that’s part of what life is made of

so…

…being able to say goodbye

well.

Another Sky

kbsitepicscene068Last night’s sky reminded me of another picture, taken a lifetime ago.  For various reasons this is what I call a farmer’s sky.

Red Sky

kbsitepicscene067And so we’re into one of the warmest springs in memory.

Red sky at night…
