One life. Tandem journeys. God breathed.
Mary's zinnias. Vibrant bursts of color that bordered the garden. On these still chilly days of springtime it's nice close my eyes and remember... The warm summer winds rushing through the cornfields on the farm. A peaceful sound I'll never forget. I could sit there for hours. Still and silent in the midst of the... Continue Reading →
One of my daughter's Montessori teachers once shared a bit of wisdom: "There is no bad weather...only poor clothing choices." LOL. Bearing that in mind, I peered out the window at the cold autumn rain, put on my walking shoes and grabbed my umbrella. Accompanied by my knitted woolens, I ventured off to the park...

I was headed home on that back road & there I saw it. A "honey" for sale sign. It's that time of year again. When summer crosses into fall. When the air is cooler in the mornings and the goldenrod is in full bloom. Spilling ochre to cover the fields. Asters smile. Their amethyst petals... Continue Reading →
I watched as the day was drawn to a close. Evening descended as I lay in the grass. Looking up to the vast expanse. A beautiful sapphire sky. A refreshing perspective to glean every now and then.

The night air was brisk as smiling patrons bustled into the ticket line. Excitedly anticipating the experience that lie ahead. We were spending the... Continue Reading →
"Lessons from a walk in the park." (English translation) My Jesus called me out for a walk with Him in the park today. That's where we often meet to spend time together. I hear him best when I'm outside in Creation. I can feel Him with me, beside me. It's so comforting to have Him... Continue Reading →
Childhood images of ethereal light. Sweetly scented blossoms amid wildflower fields. Satin ribbons & shining armor. White horses. ...and storybook endings. … Many of us were raised having these stories read to us as small children. And as we grew, we turned the pages on our own, in excited anticipation, all the while knowing how the... Continue Reading →
The month of March can be fickle. Some days bring the cold winds in, and our cozy, knitted scarves back out. Others are dappled with sunshine, the warm breezes beckoning us to the out of doors. These are the days that are filled with discovery ~ what feats of nature lie beneath the dormant grasses? What... Continue Reading →
