Beauty comes to me at dawn in a garment of golden light and baths me in the music of a new born day, breathing into my heart with a lover’s touch, the melody of my soul. I am lost in wonder, I am drunk with awe. Who is not dumbstruck with the arrival of [...]
For this time of year, with the usual heat and dryness, there is really still a lot of color in the landscape. Red, white and pink Oleanders, big majestic purple Jacaranda trees dressed in their royal robes and some trees that have beautiful little yellow globes like tiny lanterns hanging from the branches. There are [...]
“We will at last be full when we are content to be empty” …. boy does the mind hate this idea! It will resist, claim it’s a lie, blow a circuit in genuine confusion, anything to avoid looking at it. Makes sense though, it does sound pretty dismal….but it is true, and it’s not dismal [...]
