Wonderful Weekend - Baltimore Inner Harbor

I was in Baltimore over the weekend to celebrate my sister's birthday with 2 old family friends. We had a WONDERFUL time.

These are shots from Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

For those of you not familiar with Baltimore..... It is in the state of Maryland.... on the East Coast of the United States

I'll Meet You There

   Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing

and rightdoing there is a field. 

 I'll meet you there. 

When the soul lies down in that grass 

the world is too full to talk about. 

~ Rumi

More Leaves

OK - so I really LOVE Leaves!

Take Time

Do you ever feel like time is passing quickly... like a freight train at full speed?

I feel like that a lot...... so sometimes I just have to slow down.

Take a minute today.... to rest, pray, meditate, or just close your eyes and relax.

You never know what you might see :)

A Sound Experience

My Sound Experience 

 I wasn’t just Hearing it....…. I was definitely experiencing it.

Here’s my story:

It was early Saturday morning..... the temperature was about 27 degrees – so it was really COLD. I was walking in the forest and had been for about 30 minutes. I was in a kind of valley with mountains around me. The leaves on the trees were frozen. The sun was just coming up over the mountain and starting to shine on the leaves...... All at once there was a a crackling sound. At first I thought it was a deer or a squirrel or some type of animal. It wasn't. The leaves that were once frozen had begun to thaw. And as they thawed, some fell to the ground. All around me.... there was this crackling sound and leaves were falling to the ground. I felt like I was in a fairy tale.

It was quite an adventure and my telling of it doesn't do it justice.

In all of my life I have never experienced a sound quite like this.

It was exhilarating!

Telling Secrets To The Wind

It is amazing how much simple beauty is in one small leaf.

...and the leaves were telling secrets to the wind.
