Blog postEven the weeds can have Their moment in the sun; Even the weeds can contribute Beauty to a landscape. Even the most humble or irritating Item, person, obstacle, or event May offer value to your perspective. Instead of complaining or attacking; Why not ask what this irritant has to offer?
-
Blog postWho would crush The fragile beauty of a flower? Why then are we so cruel To ourselves and one another? Is not the human spirit A thing of beauty, to be cherished?
-
Blog postWhat if we approached every day With the sense that something awesome Was about to bloom in us?
-
Blog postHow long have you been hiding Who you are and what you really think, Assuming you would cross that bridge When you came to it? Consider this: the time is here, And you’re standing at that bridge. Do you have the courage To step into integrity?
-
Blog postThere are always days When we’re so busy worrying about — And preparing for — the future That we fail to see we’re standing in a rainbow. Relax your vigilance, my friend; Appreciate the beauty that is now.
-
Blog postWhen you meet someone or something new, What are you looking for? Are you hoping to find what’s there to like, Or seeking excuses to disapprove And set yourself apart; Holding the strange at bay? Why must we be alwaysSo determined to be discerning; Focusing on setting ourselves apart Instead of seeking what we share in common; Enriching our lives by learning From each other’s experience?
-
Blog postOn the cloudiest of days, When your tide is running low, May there still be moments When the sun breaks through and ignites Green thoughts of hope and possibility.
-
Blog postI give thanks today for all the gardeners Who gift us with their sense of color; Who labor — often on their knees — That hearts might be uplifted By their offerings...
-
Blog postSitting quietly In the soft calm of morning, We clear the thoughts that drift like clouds Across our inner horizon, Returning repeatedly to the openness That is sea, that is sky, That lies at the depths of oneness And brings us back into unity.
-
Blog postHave you ever noticed how often it is That flowering trees stand alone? It’s almost as if the generosity of their gifts — The glorious color; the abundant fruit — Ensures their isolation...
-
Blog postIf flowers took the Myers-Briggs, Lilies would surely test as extroverts: The sheer delight they seem to take In spreading both their petals and their scent To reach the broadest audience...
-
Blog postYes, the tide may be low right now, But it will rise again. There’s much to be said for taking time out To rest and enjoy the sun...

-
Blog postYou know — You don’t always need to be doing. Sometimes it’s okay to just be.
-
Blog postToday we see these trees and notice Their branches look like lace, But sometime, way back in the past, A woman looked at trees like these And wondered if those patterns Could be copied using thread. From Newton’s apple to Kilmer’s poem, Since Eden trees have invited us To look beyond what is to what could be...
-
Blog postI find myself envying the lush exuberance With which my apple tree is welcoming The transition from winter into spring. Instead of preparing me to burst into bloom, The long, long months of gray and isolation Have conditioned me want more of the same: I’m not quite sure I’m ready — Or if I ever will be — to blossom again.
-
Blog postAs soon as I get my mental landscape stilled, A flotilla of shoulds and to-dos Come sailing in, fighting for precedence...
-
Blog postThere is such vulnerability in each of us: So many paths that hit dead ends, So many obstacles and fears, Such heartache and such loss, yet still We soldier on, determined to survive, Still trying to catch the wind; To find and follow the current’s course That will lead us safely home.
-
Blog postRemember when Sunday was the day That provided rest, and solace; A respite from the chaos and the clutter? Let this lake be your Sunday: Choose to stare at the reflections And ignore the tangled branches on the left. Breathe in that cool, refreshing mountain air And let this blessed stillness soothe your soul.
-
Blog postAs a photographer, taught to strive For clarity and focus, I find I am reluctant to post this photo. But there’s beauty in its softness And I was delighted to discover The delicacy of that unexpected bug. See how our need for perfection Can prohibit us from sharing? Once again I am reminded That our self-described imperfections Do indeed have their own peculiar charm.
-
Blog postLocked for a year in comparative isolation, We’re now being invited To slowly let the colors of community Leach back into our world; To step out beyond what feels like safety Into that which we’ve now been taught to fear. How cautiously and consciously Will we redefine our boundaries? Now that the tide has changed,What will we keep on keeping out, And what will we allow to seep back in?
-
Blog postIt’s just when you feel You’ve been walking round in circles, Never getting to the center of things, Yet unable to escape, That you discover the truth That was there all along: It’s not where you’re going that matters; It’s being fully present Where you are in this moment That will teach you everything you need to know.
-
Blog postThe next time you get tangled up In thinking that you need to be more perfect, Spend some time with a fruit tree (These are plums, but other fruits work, too) And notice how imperfect they can be, Gnarled, lopsided, and yet beautiful In their very imperfections — AND They’re still producing tasty fruit As well as blossoms for the bees. Do consider the possibility That your imperfections may be part of your charm...

Blog postFog this morning, The sun trying desperately to break through... I have days like that, too.
