...8.28.11...

each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life,

its strength;

 and so is man rooted to the land from which he draws his faith together with his life.
~joseph conrad

earth and sky,

 woods and fields,

lakes and rivers,

the mountain and the sea,

are excellent schoolmasters,

and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

~john lubbock

small delights in my yard today.

that caught my eye when i was looking the other way.

and made my heart smile. 

and this,

 our life,

 exempt from public haunt,

finds tongues in trees,

 books in the running brooks,

sermons in stones,

and good in everything.
~william shakespears

perfect 4 part harmony

of the crickets,

of the water fountain,

of the chickadee,

of the sandhill cranes

flying in sync,

as their voices trumpet

and echo through the hardwoods.

and at that moment.

all is well.

with my soul.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

robin.
