mmmm

oatmeal chocolate chip cookies have to be my favourite cookie

when you hand a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie to someone... you will find a smile on their face... and then you will smile back

in time...

have you ever sat in the midst of a lavender patch?

i recommend it

brownies

i am entering into something good

blue eyes

the only necessary thing

i have things to look forward to this weekend...

getting to know someone better

kisses from my nieces

cups of tea around the table

sitting around a campfire

visiting with sisters that are friends

being the youngest...

celebrating my father

sweet smell

You are telling me again there’s no door to keep me in

I hear freedom singing

~jj heller

until then

this has been my work space for the last month as i write my thesis.

cozy

getting to know you, getting to know all about you.

getting to like you, getting to hope you like me.

getting to know you, putting it my way,

but nicely,

you are precisely,

my cup of tea.

in his time

Without roots...

we can neither discover where we belong, nor can we grow.

Without stability...

we cannot confront the basic questions of life.

Without stability...

we cannot know our true selves.

It is only as we put down roots into the earth that we begin to see the fruits.

To be earthed is to come alive...

surrounded

i had dinner with les last night.

we had leftovers, asparagus, and each had a big bowl of watermelon.

we sat at her kitchen table and the breeze was coming in her balcony door.

it feels like summer.

falling asleep to the rain

this is what i heard...

"just wait"

in a gentle whisper

known

red floaty things attached to strings

i discovered why my flowers are disappearing.  

the groundhog that is living under my shed has babies.

so the babies live.  my flowers may not.

but that is creation.

beautiful.

ground hog day

There is nothing stronger than a heart which loves and is freely given.
