Sap

This is stillness

I close my eyes.

I face the sun

And breathe

Deep.

Phoebe calls

Pine warbler trills

Cardinal song fills all other space.

Winter

Still drifts close to the ground.

Air will rise 

Higher 

As Earth rotates

And revolves

Reflecting the light

Of the sun

A little more closely

Each moment

Warming everything

A little more

Turning ever onwards

In the journey...

I close my eyes

I breathe deeply

I absorb

The light 

Of the sun

On my skin.

I am alive.

With the Towhees song

Morning

Has

Risen.

This

Is

Stillness. 

Little Rose

I think about being outside and nature pretty much all of the time..

Especially when we are in the full blown transition of seasons..

Sometimes my journey takes me just outside my front door, sometimes out into our woods, and thankfully sometimes the journey takes me deep into the woods and along a lovely creek...
