If there is any secret to this life I live,

 this is it: the sound of what cannot be seen sings within everything that can. 

& there is nothing more to it than that.

yesterday.

i cleared the deck of snow.

today.

i enjoyed my coffee.

as i sat out there.

as i sat.

i enjoyed the moments of nothing.

the neighbors rooster crowing.

the eves dripping.

addison sitting on the deck's edge...

listening for mice beneath the snow.

the sun shining.

warming my face.

despite the temperature.

many moments of nothing for this morning.

that made for extraordinary moments.

of everything.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

in the end,

only three things matter:

how much you loved,

how gently you lived,

and how gracefully you let go

of things not meant for you.

~Buddha

it is the simple things.

like a fur baby.

jumping up onto the chair.

of your still life photo set up...

that makes you stop and smile.

enjoy the moments.

just BE.

to be honest.

winging it.

life, motherhood,

my eye liner.

you create space for others

to do the same.

when you do things from your soul,

you feel a river moving in you,

the simple things

are also the most extraordinary things.

slow down.

take time to look.

you will see the abundance

of extraordinary things in your life.

it is all.

in the way you look.

Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will 

live along some distant day into your answers.

~Rainer Maria Rilke

my Christmas mantel is down.

i'm finding the simplest way

to happiness is to let myself

be happy with the things that

make me happy

&

also it helps to stop

wondering if i could be

happier with other things

i don't know about yet.

~brian andreas

impossible to know

find your happiness.

find your joy.

live there for awhile.

see what happens.

just a thought.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

It is not that we hide from the small,

 cold things at the heart of us,

 but from the raging heat of a wild self that loves this world without apology

 & how do you live like that without setting your whole life on fire?

~storypeople

simple beauty.

in the back of a lived in chair.

oh the stories it could tell.

of the people who've sat there.

enjoy each moment.

just BE.
