Unexpected
The unexpected makes life fun. Promise me you’ll watch for the unexpected today and throughout the weekend.
Random Thoughts
Cupped
Clouds seem to be carrying the Sun into the sky this morning. Do you bring yourself awake in the morning with the same love and care?
Reaching
I often imagine falling into the sky especially when it’s very dark. How easy it seems to float into it all. I remember that sensation growing up laying in tall grass in Kansas and it still fills me with wonder. Do you feel it too?
Here the Pleiades, Taurus And Perseus sit in the early morning sky along with the northern Milky Way.
Stopping
This fall I’ve been stopping more and looking, listening and feeling. Do I need this or that? What is drawing me closer? What can I notice? Is it worth the attention? It also allows me to work on my focus. Am I paying attention to what is worthwhile.
Negative Space
I loved how this piece of grass created this space in the shadows on the pond. It reminded me that I need to grow these spaces in my life and work. If little grasses can do it then so can I. I just have to look at different angles where it’s already there, unnoticed.
Waiting for Sunrise
Night is lonely sometimes. Laying awake with just late night thoughts for company. Thoughts of worry and regrets. What if we turned it all around with thoughts of creativity and light? Seems the day would shape up better. Enjoy the morning
Raven Talk
I’ve asked this before. What do you do when a raven talks at sunrise?
All you can do is listen. Listen to the caw, listen to the leaves rustle, listen to shuffle of a squirrel, listen to the quiet surrounding the sunrise. Are listening close to the world around you or have you shut it out? What are you listening to today?
Mountains and Stars
Last week, we visited some of the darkest skies in Colorado. I listened as a bull chuffed at me, the coyote yipped and far in the distance the elk bugled into the night. It was a celebration of the sky. It’s those sort of experiences that draw me outside. We forget a lot of the time that we belong out there tracking the day and night, living with the season’s of life, remaining open to opportunity. The sky reminds me why I’m human…so I can actually enjoy it all. It’s a journey. This sky was a highlight.
Dancing Starry Horses
Got out to take in some very dark skies. There is something so satisfying about sitting under the stars. The world is quiet but not asleep. Coyote and elk make sound their game. The calm seeps in and there is an awareness…a feeling of something bigger. And yet we remain so small. Most folks have never seen the Milky Way, lost in the blue light of their screens. And it’s so much better than TV. Let nature and the sky lure you back outside.
Gold
Gold was found in this cold, mountain stream near this spot in 1867. If you look in the stream of your life, I know there’s gold in abundance. Look to the quiet places where it settles.
