"how much of human life is lost in waiting."

 Ralph Waldo Emerson

"you must know

 that in any moment

a decision you make

can change the course of your life forever:

 the very next person you

stand behind in line

or sit next to on an airplane,

the very next phone call you make or receive,

the very next movie you see

or book you read

or page you turn

 could be the one single thing that causes the floodgates to open,

and all of the things

that you've been waiting for

 to fall into place.”

Anthony Robbins

liquid

to a solid.

and back again.

waiting.

i will stop

wasting time.

waiting for what will be

and enjoy what is

now.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

robin.

ps. not sure what has happened to my photos...they were there...

my solid and liquid was indicated in the photos...

must be a blogger thing!!!

pps. the photos are little blue dots in the middle of  my screen.

the "hand" comes up when you go over a photo...

click it them...if you'd like...

that brings the photo up. sheesh...what a pain.

...of stepping up...

“ maybe being brave is no more than
staring down the 'less than' feeling
and stepping up to the 'i am worthy' feeling. ”

-7 below.

but.

much to be grateful for.

my house is warm.

the sun is shining.

there is much destruction

and chaos in the world.

i am grateful for -7 below.

it's all about the perspective.

it is sunny...and you know

what that means...

light + objects = shadows.

and you know where to go

to find more...

HEY HARRIET

coffee is ready.

bring on those shadow shots.

just BE.

robin.

...edging closer...

it was -5 when i took the kids to school today.

but the sun is shining...

 that gives the illusion of warmth.

from a distance.

high of 27. come on 27.

just BE.

...s***...

the lovely quilt photo below...

is being overshadowed by today.

sigh.

just BE.

...3.20.11...

of ground still frozen.

of grass matted, flat

having a bad hair day.

of  colors still muted.

of snow.

still trying to hold on,

but losing the battle against the sun.

of muddy roads.

of daffodil and tulip shoots

piercing the soil.

of a leaf

that lay protected under winter's cover.

that will now return

back to the earth as it crumbles apart.

of awakening.

slowly.

of being grateful

for winter.

as it steps aside...

and lets spring happen.

of awakening.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

robin.

...your truth...

it was such a beautiful day yesterday...

brought out the porch table and chairs

this wasp's nest fell out...

“ it is your truth.
your power.
your soul.
guard it with all you have.
don't let anyone's misconceptions steal it.
including your own. ”

~terri st. cloud

if only for today.

spring is here.

despite the frosty morning.

the birds,

including the robins,

are singing.

the sun in on the rise.

it is going to be a great day.

light + objects = shadows

HEY HARRIET

is the place to find more.

going to enjoy my coffee

looking and listening.

just BE.

robin.

...yes...i can see you...

then i saw it.

my first spring robin.

the signs

of spring

are budding.

just BE.

"The Creative Exchange will now be photography based. 

You may post any photograph you wish,

as long as it is one that was taken

without a lot (or any) thought

about the technical aspects of photography.  

Something that simply comes from your heart." 

 ~Lisa Gordon

 

i loved this meme.

because all my photos

come from my heart.

the most technical that

i get is whether

i am going to lay on the ground

to take the photo or not.

what you see is

what you get with me.

i am pretty simple.

thanks for this wonderful idea lisa!!

just BE.
