Three Ravens

Three ravens watch me from their sentinel line on the cart return frame.

The Matter of Spirit

Walking on ice we must balance maintaining just the perfect connection with the earth. Breathing requires a balance too maintaining just the perfect connection with the spirit. Warm ears, deep eyes but work weary a fervent companion is released to the world beyond. My deepest gratitude and blessings, dear friend. We will be together again.

Reworking the stone

After a complete month of putting small stones in The River, I'm going to proceed writing small stones as I can. I truly enjoy it; but, I think I may stray from how I originally set out.  I think a "small stone" can also be an observation of a thought or idea or even something heard.  Yes. It is about the words and writing; but, I want to retain the freedom to explore those small thoughts more fully. A stone has many sides. Some are simple like a river stone while some have jagged edges and many facets. Some have flecks of gold!

I was treated to a bit of cultural education by my daughter; we watched the Lord of The Rings Trilogy - Extended Version.  OK - I get it now.  It was beautiful and inspiring. And, in the middle of the movie I announced a revelation "WE NEED A PARTY!"

The sun returns gradually each day it lingers a bit longer and arrives just a tad earlier.  It doesn't seem so bleak now that spring is counting distance.   

I can feel the clover beneath my feet and hear the river rushing over rocks. I hear the whisper of the leaves. I hear the thunder rumbling in the mountains.

Tune fiddles, find your picks and bows we need a party! Friends new and old, dancing, singing, sharing, stories, drumming, a fire blazing brightly through the night, children, hugging, flowers, sweet tea and time. We need to celebrate.
