June 24, 2017

   All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All images started their life in the camera and grew from there.

All comments are mine unless noted.

    The first five images were taken last week in Acadia National Park, the rest were shot on Prince Edward Island in the Canadian Maritimes. It is an island attached by an 8 mile long bridge, the longest span across ice covered waters in the world. We were there a few weeks ago on a ten day trip - ice in the bay under the bridge comes in November.
   

I was snow

I melted in Your rays

The earth drank me

Now mist and pure spirit

I climb back to the Sun.

                                                                            Rumi

What beauty is hidden in the grass

Whose presence in the world is only glanced at ....

But in the Eternal Presence

The orchard is seen in all it's glory by those who look

Through God's eyes,

I have heard it all my life,

A voice calling a name I recognized as my own.

Sometimes it comes as a soft-bellied whisper.

Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.

But always it says: Wake up, my love. You are walking asleep.

There's no safety in that.

Look deeply dear friend,

Tell me what you see so I may become

Part of you,  and as we

Become part of the mystery that surrounds us.

Christmas in June 

Strung with the lights of the Season.

Images from Prince Edward Island -

"Catch me if you can!"

(The Jack Russell Terrier of the horse world.)

The Ocean is a metaphor for God.

To get to Love's Home

Follow the path to the luminescent bridge

Walk across, find a boat and row out to a spot

Where you can fall into the One who is  eternally calling your name.

There is a story here .....

Married for 42 years she died in 2006,

Ten years later her husband passed through the veil.

Waiting on the other side for her lifelong love, she took his hand

and together they walked into the Light.

   We spent several hours with a Falconer who let Lee and myself handle one of the birds indoors and then took us outdoors where the Harris Hawk below flew to both of us as we each held a snack for its enjoyment. A most special afternoon!

A truly remarkable moment.

Through the fields of dandelions there is a path

Which I will ask you to walk on this sunlight day ....

My hope is that you will tell me where it took you.
