The Big Picture

Winter is a funny time. On one hand, it is a time for drawing within. On the other, though, it is a time for laying the groundwork for what is to come in the Spring and beyond. I had not noticed it before, but my winter photos always begin with sky pictures. It strikes me that the enormous sky above holds all of our hopes and dreams for us - a gigantic Pot of Possibilities, ours for the choosing. 

I watch it play out overhead...looking for clues

I am grateful that each day, each moment, brings with it a chance to take a breath and simply 'Begin Again'

I drink in the beauty overhead as it sparkles and shifts

as the Day welcomes each of us into Her embrace

 

  

and the Sky mirrors back the Beauty it sees in us

My one true wish as I start out into the Great Unknown of 2012...

     Let me lead, always, with my HEART first

       If I can do that, I know that the rest will all fall into place

The Dance

It is happening out there. Can you feel it?

Deep within, at the Center of Things, there is a thawing taking place, and things long dormant are beginning to make their moves into Be-ing.


Not long ago, it looked like this

An Ancient Call goes out

to

Wake Up

and

Dance With the Sun

The Ice of Winter

once held us frozen in place

but now the warming rays of the Sun

gently bring a new start

to a

Very Old Story

 Ice gives way

and becomes

life-giving Water

and Color is restored

to the World

What wonders await us

as we take our first steps

into a fresh

Rainbow of Possibilities

Nature asking

each of us

"May I have this Dance?"
