    … of the year when Iris are making their annual splash in yards and fields and some varieties  like this white and yellow one are especially compelling and the fibrous nature of their petals which just cry out to have their intricate beauty released and you end up with a photographic piece of art like this.

    It is spring and life abounds everywhere … I like to think of my friends looking at these photos in the morning whilst enjoying multiple shots of my favorite beverage, espresso, listening to some birds singing theirs songs in the glorious crisp morning air. Sometimes I decry all the people walking around looking at the smart phones in the palm of their hand and missing out on beauty like this … then I am reminded that fully 38% of my emails are viewed on smart phones which translates into thousands of people walking around looking at my work … maybe … so perhaps it is not such a bad thing after all. In the interest of safety, take a break, drink some espresso and then gaze into the depths of beauty. There is an inner world and perhaps we can transition into it and lose ourselves in mystical wonder.

    Today was magic … coffee, scones, fruit and fascinating conversation with friends this morning, time on the deck with One as she inserted herself into the Texas Sage to await the unwary sparrows and finches that like to find shelter in there. The ability to fly and avoid capture is much more limited within the bush and she makes good use of that advantage. I like it, because I can just sit in one place and not have to follow her around the yard. And I had true health food for dinner as a friend brought a large meat lovers pizza over tonight. OMG it was good … and two slices left over for a healthy breakfast and again friends from NY coming over for coffee in the morning bringing apple fritters. Can you imagine a better or more healthy breakfast? Fruit (apple fritters), meat and dairy products (meat pizza), some carbs (the crust) and multiple shots of espresso to get you through the induced coma that would otherwise occur!

    Have a beautiful day … smile and enjoy every breath you are privileged to take. Seek beauty as we find what we seek.

    Cheers

    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→
