Peace

stillness

quiet

calm

solitude

peace

Where the fox and rabbit tracks meet, I pause

wishing

hoping

praying

 for peace to calm the chaos in the world.

Stay Safe and Well

All is quiet here at the edge of the forest - 

very peaceful.

Some days, the morning sun spreads golden rays through the trees.

My amaryllis glows with light.

Other days, clouds and snow obscure the sun.

A white beauty surrounds us.

Animals visit.

Waldo smiles.

We continue to isolate at home.

We escape into the forest for exercise.

We count our blessings.

Wherever you are in the world, stay safe and well.

A Month of Good Things - Embracing Winter

In the month since I've posted, we've been buried in snow.

In 4 days, 4 feet (1.2m) of snow fell.

Wilderness beckons outside our back door.

The forest is magical in winter.

Trees are shrouded in white.

For exercise, I bundle into warm layers and clip into the touring skis.

The crunch of snow and the groan of my cold skis keep me company.  

A stillness enters my mind and my heart.

Always, I'm alert for wildlife, especially moose.

Luckily, with snow on the ground, fresh tracks tell us where they're roaming.

In the morning, golden light sparkles on snow.

By afternoon, blue shadows lengthen.

I light candles early.

The fire is already blazing.

As darkness falls, we're warm and cozy.

The delights of winter are my Good Things today.

Thank you for visiting.

I wish you peace and calm this holiday season.

May love abide with you.

Stillness

In the midst of chaos - beauty.

Allow light to enter darkness.

Focus on breath, on beating heart, on gratitude.

 Open the mind to restful calmness.

Be still.

My One Good Thing today is the healing stillness of Nature.

The stick sculptures by Patrick Dougherty are displayed in Vail, CO.

The nature photos are from Crested Butte, CO, where I enjoyed both stillness and connection.
