We're here to end it, I said & she said, No, we're here to begin it & then she turned & opened her arms & everywhere I could see, there were people, like bright birds, calling with a thousand voices & suddenly I understood. Here is where it begins with all of us, together giving our daughters a world worth loving for a lifetime to come.

on the porch having coffee.

with my daughter.

who has a beautiful spirit.

and listened to her dreams.
and my heart soaring.

...without a word of explanation...

these are multiple shadows because there were a lot of things she walked away from without a word of explanation when she was younger & she still thinks about them more than she needs to

...6.15.14...

i love photos that come straight out of the camera like this...

I tried for a whole summer to teach our cat to play the piano. We started with an easy song. It was 3 Blind Mice. My dad said it didn't work because the cat had a tin ear, but I think it was because she kept looking around for the blind mice the whole time & never gave it her full attention.

~storypeople

dad's are full of helpful stuff.

like.

"what's the difference between an orange"

and.

"throw the horse over the fence a bale of hay"

and smiles.

and laughter.

and a lifetime of memories.

happy Father's day to all dads.

but today.

especially to mine.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

...a mirror of our attitudes...

Our environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.

“Our life depends on the kind of thoughts we nurture. If our thoughts are peaceful, calm, meek, and kind, 

then that is what our life is like. If our attention is turned to the circumstances in which we live, we are drawn 

into a whirlpool of thoughts and can have neither peace nor tranquility.” 

~Thaddeus of Vitovnica

my garden spots.

have been a long time coming.

it seems.

but they are taking shape.

they bring me peace.

and tranquility.

my wish for you today.

is that you.

may find yours.

welcome to coffee hour.

...a failure of imagination...

In my dream, the angel shrugged & said, 

If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination 

& then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand.

~storypeople

a gentle shadow.

this morning.

love this story.

light + objects=shadows

enjoy the moments.

...week five of 52 photos project...

Each morning, I breathe in the whole world again like it's the very first time 

& remember that all the words we use about being alive are not the same as life itself.
