the weather...

let me take some pictures between rain showers!!

"september days

have the warmth of summer

in their briefer hours,

but in their lengthening evenings

a prophetic breath of autumn.

the cricket chirps in the noontide,

making the most of what remains of his brief life.

the bumblebee is busy

among the clover blossoms of the aftermath,

and their shrill and dreamy hum

hold the outdoor world above

the voices of the song birds,

now silent or departed."
~rowland e. robinson

embrace

each

moment.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

...life brings changes...

it's when life brings

changes our way

that acceptance is hardest for us.

fresh circumstances often

challenge us deeply.

in periods of transition,

don't rush to make judgements

about how comfortable

the new situation will be for you.

allow things time

to settle down,

and face the future with an open mind.

surround by a shadow.

i do love chasing them.

...9.19.10...

the ball

left in the yard

after a time of play.

left out amongst the

leaves that now cover the ground.

the hoop will see play again...

probably not until next spring.

the outdoor sports will soon change to indoor ones.

the voices become quieter

right along with the days.

as we retreat inside.

to the comfort and warmth of our homes.

oh i know...

there are many days of nice weather coming.

but yet,

we still prepare.

that's what we do.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

...dance with the light...

“ may you know the fire within you.

may you never doubt your connection to it.

may you learn the balance of holding it close

and giving it freely.

and may you dance with the light that you shine. ”
~terri st. cloud ~

rain + cold = football season.

arrgh.

but...

light + objects= shadows.

ahh.

there we go

head over to HEY HARRIET
just BE.

robin.

...coming closer...

the yard

this week.

fall will be sharing

it's beauty soon.

it is cold.

the leaves have started to change.

it will not be long

before we are in full color glory.

stay tuned.

just BE.

...9.12.10...

this morning...

this is for k. and j.r.

more

than

anything

i

need

to

trust

the

journey

i

don't

understand.

~terri st. cloud

the journey

of a thousand miles.

begins with a single step.

it isn't easy.

nothing worth having is.

life is a leap of faith.

i love this quote by richard bach

“When you have come to the edge

of all the light you have

And step into the darkness

of the unknown

Believe that one of the two

will happen to you

Either you'll find something solid to stand on

Or you'll be taught how to fly!”

i believe that you will fly.

my love and prayers lift you up.

He holds you.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

...of weighing thoughts...

"oh the comfort,

the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person,

having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words,

but pouring them all right out, just as they are.”

~Dinah Maria Mulock

what a wonderful

feeling that is.

summer has taken

a sharp turn.

it has "caught a cold"

as my grandma byers use to say.

i am in hopes that this

is just a product of the hurricane.

that next week will be back

to nice weather.

i was suppose to have last week off...

but started a new job.

so i was secretly happy for me

that it was crappy weather.

we are playing with shadows.

over at HEY HARRIET

come on over and join us.

just BE.

robin.

remembering today...9-11-01

remembering the loss.

remembering America's ability to come together

in her time of need.

remember.

...coffee hour...

missed coffee hour Sunday.

we were camping with hubby's sister and family.

dodged raindrops.

held on to our hats against the wind.

extra clothes and blankets against the cold.

but...

enjoyed the company of family.

enjoyed the talents of my oldest son playing guitar

and singing.

enjoyed the campfire.

'smores.

good food...man do we put on a good spread!!

enjoyed the stars between the bursts of rain.

enjoyed God's country.

laughter.

hugs.

gratitude.

love unconditional.

family.

i will see you next Sunday.

just BE.

robin.

...imagine the silence...

black-eyed susan looking at her shadow.

imagine the silence you hear

after listening to a beautiful piece of music,

or even just a beautiful chord.

does it have different qualities

compared to regular silence?

remember that this quality of silence

holding the memory of beauty is always present,

even if you can't detect it.

heavenly music lies latent

in silence as Michelangelo's statue of David

once lay hidden

within a lump of marble.

~1,001 ways to live in the moment

it is saturday.

sunday down under.

where we play in the shadows

every week.

HEY HARRIET

may you experience that beautiful chord today.

just BE.
