Beauty Blessing

As stillness in stone to silence is wed
May your heart be somewhere a God might dwell.

As a river flows in ideal sequence
May your soul discover time in presence.

Signs of Spring 1

Such Singing in the Wild Branches (2003)
It was spring
and finally I heard him
among the first leaves—
then I saw him clutching the limb

in an island of shade
with his red-brown feathers
all trim and neat for the new year.
First, I stood still

and thought of nothing.
Then I began to listen.
Then I was filled with gladness—
and that's when it happened,

Happy Pi Day

I am not a fan of math.  I still have nightmares about skipping out of my math classes.  But this is something I can appreciate... You can now listen to math's odd melody. If Pi were a song.

March Faves

Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them.
Leo Tolstoy

March Favorites:

Jewel Orchid: Its lucious dark leaves & dainty white blooms add a fresh balance to a room

Say Yes to Carrots Lip Gloss: Shimmers up your lips and adds a little zing with its au naturel ingredients

Chobani Greek Yogurt: A treat fit for a goddess!  Thick and creamy & good for you in so many ways!

Monday Video Inspiration: Horse Feathers

This moody tune by Horse Feathers,called "Curs in the Weeds," will make you stop and think and wish and ache just a little bit.  My mom told me about this band about two years ago and just about every one of their songs have made me feel something when I have listened.  Like this morning... driving through the Amish farmlands, fresh snowfall on the lime-green fields, just reborn from two days of constant rain. Makes me think of what's down the road... flowers and sun and life.  Take a listen to this hauntingly sparse tune with heart-breaking fiddle and yearning vocals.  Enjoy this along with the rest of your melting almost-spring Monday.
