And Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. Giving thanks to my Dad who died 5 years ago. Always loving you Pop Pop!

That's My Story and I'm Sticking to It

Spring's messages-daily rains, thunder, lightning overhead, the nearness of weather on skin. Storms upheaving familiar, cleansing. Radiance through growth-spring's messages.

Late Spring

First time seeing a ladybug hatch! And the gift of seeing of a peeper, one of my favorite spring sounds!

What to Remember When Waking

In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
coming back to this life from the other
more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world
where everything began,
there is a small opening into the new day
which closes the moment you begin your plans.

What you can plan is too small for you to live.
What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough
for the vitality hidden in your sleep.

To be human is to become visible
while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.
To remember the other world in this world
is to live in your true inheritance.

You are not a troubled guest on this earth,
you are not an accident amidst other accidents
you were invited from another and greater night
than the one from which you have just emerged.

Now, looking through the slanting light of the morning window
toward the mountain presence of everything that can be
what urgency calls you to your one love?
What shape waits in the seed of you
to grow and spread its branches
against a future sky?

Is it waiting in the fertile sea?
In the trees beyond the house?
In the life you can imagine for yourself?
In the open and lovely white page on the waiting desk?

Exquisite

Can't get this wedding out of my mind. A simple image from the ceremony.

Basta

Did you ever have a day, where it all just made sense? Where suddenly, you get it in your core, you feel it in your heart, you know that it's simply enough? And then you spend some time with just the right friend to help it all sink in. It's glorious, it's real, it's gratitude. Thanks both to Kate and Gina :)

Rachel and Jeff-Infectious Love!

An exquisite ceremony in Boulder today. These images speak for me!
Wishing Rachel and Jeff all the best!

Carter

Giving thanks for Carter, our great dog friend. I have been blessed to have this dog in my life for the last 15 months. The love of a dog is like none other. We wish him well on his journey to heal!

Keeping it Light

Even on the worst of days, a bulldog sighting and a bungee jump keeps things light.

Lili, Thomas and Neil

Another gorgeous walk on the Mc CLintock Trail with Neil, Thomas and Lili.
A beautiful trio!
