Thanks Songbird!
Yes Mia, you most definitely were. Tender love to you, Christine
You are right; I was there. M.
These are so beautiful, thank you.
Thank you so much Cathleen and Bette. My midweek Sabbath day is usually Wednesday, but I had to move it up this week and I really wanted to walk by myself so went to a fairly well-traveled park that is still quite stunning and quiet. I was deeply aware the whole time how both the walk and my photography were contemplative practices, inviting me to notice the holy radiating everywhere. It does make a great weekly commitment. I always return feeling so deeply grounded.
There are such times when no words are necessary, when the Spirit is moving. Every photo from your pilgrimage is beautiful! I like the idea of setting one day of the week for a nature walk.
Thank you for the beauty you’ve shared, reminding us of glory and splendor right under our nose or above our heads! Blessings, Cathleen
