Festival of Leaves 2022~ week 3

I am glad to participate, in the challenge of capturing weekly Fall color, at Festival of Leaves.

Festival of Leaves 2022~ week 1

I look forward to this challenge, and I so appreciate that Dawn Miller, is hosting Festival of Leaves once again. We are in the first few days of Fall. While walking in our neighborhood, I came across this plant. I don’t know what it is called, but the color combination appealed to me. I will be keeping my eyes peeled open, for this challenge.

August Up and Away

Up and away

August can’t stay

Time for September

I hope you remember

For what’s ahead 

Some cool weather relief

Pumpkin spice and all pumpkin nice

And ramping up my prayer

For all people, and everywhere.

Not Wordless Today~ part 1

I had planned for this to be wordless, but I changed my mind. These rocks have been in a rock tumbler for almost a month. I took a picture before my husband started the process. I have been thinking a lot about the heart. The human heart, the most important organ of our body. I think we can all agree, it is amazing. These rocks started off dull and on Monday we will view their transformation. A change of a human’s heart takes time. It does take work to change, a process depending on where the person’s frame of mind is. It sounds like, feels like, reads like mental health is on a decline. We only need to sign onto the internet and read what’s going on in our world. It’s disturbing. So, like rocks, heart’s get hard, and left to one’s own unhealthy thinking, it can lead to a road of destruction. Not only destruction to self but destruction others. This is a spontaneous endeavor today, and I hope to continue on with my thoughts on this subject.

The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Goes to?

I like this photo that I took recently. I am trying to have a sense of humor right now, I wanted to use it in some manner. We are in the process of downsizing and that includes moving. It’s been eight years since our big move from California. So considering that I am soon to be eight years older, I understand why I am not as energetic.. I look forward to new and to change. And getting some rest..

A Stirring in My Heart

 there’s something new

i want to do

nothing grand

but i don’t yet

understand

but it’s in my heart

where my ideas start

i’ll be patient and wait

to not be in a hurry

but to also not be late..

Earth Day 2020

how many steps

will it take

to get that

familiar place?

Happy New Year!

As I looked at this photo, my immediate thought was “Boundaries.”

more love and respect, is what we need, kinder and giving is good indeed, setting boundaries to protect human life and those in the wild. God help me this New Year to see with new eyes, to be a better human as the days of my life fly by. grant me wisdom in all that i do and to make a difference, aligned with your point of view..r gould
