I cannot live without love
falling in and out
easily and free
from moment to moment
capturing nature’s beauty.
the flowers and trees
the sunsets and ladybugs
i love discovering them
giving my full attention
my full love
then moving along
there’s so much love
to give, to receive
it resides everywhere
the sweetest is
by far found au natural!
Thousands of Little Hands Clapping
in unison
excited
water meets earth
the forest rejoices
sends a cool loving breeze
all the commotion
of raindrops falling on the leaves –
nature’s symphony
pause
enjoy the moment.
rain brings forth life
helps the plants grow
creates fertile ground
for the next to flourish
dramatic
enlivening
thousands of little hands clapping
Reflections play a trick on me
It’s hard to tell what I see
Rocks seen clearly from the waters edge
Glacier Point with its white highlighted ledge
Snow-covered logs and tall pine trees
Clouds changing with the breeze
Swirled ice sheets drifting with ease
Tiny flakes tickle my nose
Bringing a calm to my heart as the Merced River flows
This is a peace that only Yosemite knows
In the quiet winter days listening to nature’s echoes
Absolutely perfect in every single way
Lucky me to spend time frolicking on such a day
Creating a new memory that is sure to stay
Of unsurpassed beauty, perfection and carefree play!
rising sun
winter day
powdered sugar granite
frozen puddles
brisk wind
visible breath
cold water falling
heart pounding
eyes close
naturally perfect
In a little garden that I was sitting next to this morning I watched a bird gathering twigs to make it’s nest. It was picking them from the ground, recycling nature’s goods to build it’s home. What if we adopted this practice again? If we used the nature’s goods to build our homes, the goods that are naturally available in our surroundings? Instead of making all the homes cookie-cutter McMansions, what if we actually used our natural resources as we found them? So if there isn’t an abundance of 4×4’s in a certain area, but there is a heck of a lot of clay or Pinion Pines, why not construct a house made of that?
We can learn a lot from watching the birds, we just need to pay attention…
