Vivarium

Taking a walk, I have a sense that the lake, the mountains, the city, and I are miniatures under the great dome of the Sky.  We exist in a terrarium organized precisely for this time and place. All part of a  perfect tableaux, each element is fragile and fleeting but necessary for the particular moment. In an instant, the scene will shift and all will change.

    I am simply blown away by this blog Barb! I don't even know what or how to comment -- it would be like trying to add something to my favorite poems. I'm incapable.

    Every post is just perfect.

    The gorgeous azure ice and sky-colored ice and coyote tracks on the Denver horizon from your Live and Learn blog fit into the theme of this post very nicely as well. Ice melts, tracks melt. There is power in the memory of beauty.

    At times I do feel like a tiny little ant on this huge Earth! I can't wait for the changes to come, warm air and green. I miss green!
    Love Di ♥

    I had to look up vivarium... what a nice metaphor for our little (in the grand scheme of things) biosphere!

    This is wonderful. 'All part of a perfect tableaux, each element is fragile and fleeting but necessary for the particular moment.' Are we open to those changing and diverse scenes day by day?

    Ephemera - life is a series of changing moments. The trick is to stop and appreciate the beauty as you so artfully do.
