The Turning Of A Leaf

...I see 

 the turning of a leaf 

 dancing in an autumn sun, 

 and brilliant shades of crimson 

 glowing when a day is done... 

 ~ Hazelmarie "Mattie" Elliott

Touched by Wonder and Awe

Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery 
and touches our sense of wonder and awe.

Red-bellied Woodpecker - Female

Build a House for men and birds. 

Sit with them and play music. 

For a day, for just one day, 

talk about that which disturbs no one 

and bring some peace, my friend, 

into your beautiful eyes.

The You Within

And like flowers in the fields, that make wonderful views, when we stand side-by-side in our wonderful hues...

 We all make a beauty so wonderfully true. We are special and different, and just the same, too! 

 So whenever you look at your beautiful skin, from your wiggling toes to your giggling grin... 

 Think how lucky you are that the skin you live in, so beautifully holds the "You" who's within.

~ Michael Tyler, The Skin You Live In

Chase A Butterfly

Be a child again. Flirt. Giggle. Dip your cookies in your milk. Take a nap. Say you're sorry if you hurt someone. Chase a butterfly. Be a child again.

― Max Lucado

A Little Stardust Caught

American Goldfinch feeds on the seeds of this wildflower - a type of thistle perhaps?

The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.
