Reflecting

He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; He suspends the earth over nothing.

He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight.

He covers the face of the full moon, spreading His clouds over it.

He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness....

And these are but the outer fringe of His works; how faint the whisper we hear of Him.

Job 26: 7-10, 14

Sorry for the radio silence. I spent a long weekend camping on the beach with my sweet husband. I read, I reflected, I strolled on the beach, I watched the sunrise, and I'm ready to start anew.

Happy Wednesday.

Happy Memorial Day

Thank you to all who have and are currently serving in our military, and thank you to each soldier's family. Your sacrifice is great beyond words.

There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void:
Thou - Thou art Being and Breath,
And what Thou art may never be destroyed.

~Emily Bronte

Happy Easter my lovelies.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

we now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven.
~henry david thoreau

my little heart is longing for adventures lately.

for warmer spring days to go camping, for roasting marshmallows and making smores, for day hikes to the top of a mountain and eating lunch surrounded by the beautiful view, for the serenity of down time next to a campfire with my best friend.

where do you go to get away from it all?

and we will hear each other and remember each other."

So was I once myself a swinger of birches.
And so I dream of going back to be....

I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree~
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.

That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.

Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behaviour. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as some day, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.

"general opinion is starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but i don't see that. it seems to me that love is everywhere. often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. when the planes hit the twin towers, as far as i know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. if you look for it, i've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around."

searching {for solitude}

sometimes we all need a bit of solitude

a bit of time to ourselves to regroup

and to reconnect with ourself

and with our surroundings

{starting forever}

thirty years from now
they'll look back and wonder how
they were just as in love then
as they are now

all his strengths will cover up all her weaknesses
and her fortes will be as deep-ended seas
all her strengths will cover up all his weaknesses
and his fortes will be as deep-ended seas

- lyrics by Corey Crowder
