    … sharing the planet with the likes of these two creatures has to bring a smile and happiness into our lives. Without any thoughts of the silliness that humans concern themselves with, these fabulous creatures go about their daily lives accomplishing what they must, to survive and make it through each day.

    The bobcat (Lo II) visited our back yard again and fortunately for her, One was in the house … a few minutes to say hi, pose for a few portrait shots and she was back on her way … she’ll be back.

    The redwing blackbird was putting on a display and singing like only they can do on a beautiful spring morning earlier this year. Few song birds attract me as they do … memories of skies darkened by huge flocks of them migrating when I was a kid in Minnesota … although the numbers seem smaller now I have those beautiful memories that play out every spring and fall. There are ebbs and flows in every aspect of life. Back then, when we went duck and goose hunting, there were very few Canada Geese and the ones we saw flew so high that the best we could do is listen to the pellets from our shotguns bounce off their feathers.

    Lot’s of work on projects today and more tomorrow … visits with friends and just in general, one of those days you enjoy living … nothing spectacular, just a day that brings a quiet smile to your face as you reflect on it.

    Have a beautiful day and enjoy it … moment by moment as you go through the day.

    Cheers,

    Ted

    Ere you lie down to sleep in the night, sit still a while, and nurse again to life your gentler self. Forget the restless, noisy spirit of the day, and encourage to speech the soft voices within you that timidly whisper of the peace of the great, still night; and occasionally look out at the quiet stars. The night will sooth you like a tender mother, folding you against her soft bosom, and hiding you from the harm of the world.
    — excerpt from ERE YOU LIE DOWN TO SLEEP, by Max Ehrmann

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
