Beauty

***

I felt a sudden shock

of beauty

so strong

that I could only stand

frozen in wonder.

We Remember ...

Peace to each manly soul that sleepeth;

Rest to each faithful eye that weepeth

Enthusiasm

***

In enthusiasm

we undulate

to the

divine

~Henry David Thoreau~

A light shines ...

From within
or from behind

a light shines through us

upon things

and makes us aware

that we are nothing
but the light is all

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

I took my camera this morning on our walk. The weather these past few days has been beautiful ~ warm and sunny. Usually, I am eagerly anticipating that hot cup of coffee as we walk home early in the morning , but it didn't take long for the sun to come out and warm everything up :-) The squirrels were busy gathering up leaves and taking them to their nests. Blue Jays were singing and the Woodpeckers making that sweet little squeaking sound. The leaves looked so pretty with the sunlight shining through them. A light shines and everyone is happy!

Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

There is a calmness

to a life lived in gratitude ~

a quiet joy

~Ralph H Blum~

I'm thankful that this beauty is only a short drive away & how I feel refreshed and rejuvenated instantly :-) A quiet joy ♥

Prevail

***

Whatever is soft and yielding

is a disciple of life.

The hard and stiff

will be broken.

The soft and supple

will prevail.

~Tao Te Ching~

Jack Frost made an appearance & this morning's walk saw all the leaves and lawns and rooftops frosted :-)
Oh I love this time of year ♥

an oasis where we can breath in the wonders of nature
that surrounds us

~Georgia Raimondi~
