do more than exist,

live.

do more than touch,

feel.

do more than look,

observe.

do more than read,

absorb.

do more than hear,

listen.

do more than listen,

understand.

do more than think,

ponder.

do more than talk,

say something.

~john h. rhoades

from the book be.

icicles and sunsets.

the beauty and color.

this simple.

form of frozen.

water takes on.

these are the things.

that catch my eye.

these are the simple things.

i want to share.

through my photography.

i don't spend a lot of time.

pondering the ways of the world.

that gives me a headache.

i spend a lot of time pondering

icicles and sunsets.

...whisper tree songs at night in their dreams...

when I die, she said, 

i'm coming back as a tree with deep roots

 & i'll wave my leaves at the children 

every morning on their way to school

 & whisper tree songs at night in their dreams. 
trees with deep roots know about the things children need.

this one is SOOC, no playing with this one. this is all mother nature at minus four.

  

beexcited.

the minute you begin

to do what you really

want to do,

it's really a different 

kind of life.

~buckminster fuller

unfortunately.

having that conversation.

with yourself.

is hard.

can i really do.

what i want to do.

it is easy to let.

self doubt creep in.

so maybe.

you start with baby steps.

nobody said you had to jump in feet first.

you are never going to know.

until you try.

what would you do.

if you had no worries.

no self doubt.

welcome to coffee hour.

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

...the spirit should never grow old...

"if wrinkles must be written upon our brow,

 let them not be written upon the heart; 

the spirit should never grow old."

James A. Garfield

much.

much.

to my delight.

the sun is shining.

it is shining through minus four degrees.

there were many.

happy shadow moments.

probably spent way to many moments.

capturing them.

but the one.

that warms my heart the most.

is the one i found.

on this picture painted by my Grampa Herman.

with painfully crippled  hands.

he started painting at age 79.

i have never seen the sun shine here before.

i cherish this painting.

hi grampa.

thank you for coming to me today.

in this beautiful way.

light + objects= shadows.

join us.

just BE.

beresourceful.

almost everything

comes from

almost

nothing.

~henri-frederic amiel

from the book be

from the first photo.

of the bubble.

floating through the air.

where time seems to be still.

to the photo of my youngest son.

dressed up for snowcoming.

the moments in between.

where milestones are hit.

the moments of ordinary.

every day.

fly past.

take time.

to savor those moments.

because they are what become.

extraordinary.

welcome to coffee hour. 

welcome to this Sunday morning.

just BE.

...when it has been too long grey...

this is a magical beast 

that holds the secret of

light & shadow

in a safe place in her heart

& when it has been too long grey,

she starts to dance & laugh & cry & sing

& the sunlight fills her up

& spills in wild abandon

back into the world again.

~storypeople

this is on my

february calendar.

i just love storypeople.

winter is spent with way too much grey.

i believe that.

dancing.

laughing.

crying.

singing.

go a long way.

to replenishing the light.

in our souls.

light + shadows= objects

just BE.

robin.
