Good Morning God!  The sun hasn’t risen yet.  I LOVE these visible transition times. And this morning I will be out walking as dawn arrives. Sunrise and sunset. Our earth is always turning — rotating– but at dawn and dusk we

the Joy of Light

Ah, it is continuing to rain, God.  Thank You!  I love waking up to the sound of rain.  And, when the sun breaks through there is the hope of rainbows.  Yesterday was full of them — one just lying flat

More thoughts on the diversity of plants and people. And perhaps a greater appreciation of adaptive resourcefulness and resiliency.
