    … this hen common merganser was having a little problem deciding whether or not to take off and in the photo above she is showing her hesitancy to leave the surface of the lake and commit to airtime. She was kinda halfheartedly running and flapping her wings and ultimately decided that she would remain on the water. In this shot you can see her doing a wing beat and the water being splashed all over the place … and she looked so regal while doing it. Aborted takeoffs by planes are not nearly so graceful …

    The common cormorant below shows full commitment to flight as he leaves his perch on the tree limb protruding above the waterline and has the grace and beauty that only birds in flight have … sailplanes are a close second 🙂

    Another new week underway and hope yours is beautiful and filled with joy.

    Keep breathing and smiling … life is great!

    A bird flies through the sky, and I fly with it. I am in each pearl of moisture sparkling in the sun. I lie lazy on the clouds. And I acknowledge my kinship with each winged thing.
     
    I see all as one, and nothing repels me, as this new day climbs noiselessly out of the valley of the night.
     
    Peace lies over the world and over the world of my soul.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
