Daily Reminder # 58

Well, I was trying to take the lazy way out and just post some pictures and a couple of poems but the universe (or at least blogger or maybe Google chrome) seems bent on making it very complicated. Things are coming out blue and/or underlined and I keep trying to take out the coding which has appeared for no reason that I understand and it keeps coming back, so it is taking me forever to do it the easy way. The Universe is no piker in how it deals with cheaters. I have no idea why the text (except for the captions) is different colors. Baffled. Totally. Sigh. By the way, if you click on the pictures you can see them larger. I don't know if this improves them, but they will be bigger.

I call this little bird Willie (he's the only one I've named)

He's sort of homely and gawky and makes me think

of a book by Norman Rockwell that was called

WILLIE WAS DIFFERENT about a thrush who

sang his own song much to the consternation of

his fellow thrushes... Sorry this is such a long caption.

My friend Dan came by today and did me two great kindnesses. He found a bunch of Angel's lost toys (happy kitty) and he washed my front window and back door, so it no longer looks like my photos have been shot through fog. Ah... and the back yard was in an exceptionally generous mood. I almost posted 20 pictures but controlled myself and saved some for later. So anyway, no great or small words of wisdom or ponderous efforts at deep thinking.... just poetry, photos and gratitude.

Not a great photo, but isn't that wing awesome?

Who knew the flicker was hiding that beautiful yellow?

The answer is believing

Being

There is no power

But the joy of

Evolving

Of lighting the world

Not with answers

But with questions

Moving in the circle of eternity

Flowing in the trinity of time

Which does not exist

Past-present-future

One in the same

Linked

Like the droplets of a wave

Separable and inseparable

Inexplicable

Unfathomable

Mystical and magical

Calling to the eye of the heart

- Katherine E. Rabenau

Willie again..

.

It is not the knowing which matters

But the seeking after

The need to see the dark side of the moon

To touch the bottom of the sea

The answer always seems a little pale

A little disappointing

Beside the miracle of curiosity

But the riddle teases on and on

And we forget

That only the questions are real.

- Katherine E. Rabenau

Some things I'm grateful for today:

my camera
clean windows and back door
my kind friend Dan

cooler air

rain

Angel and Tara Grace

yogurt

my back yard

critters

This bunny was so sweet and came close enough

for some good pictures. He sat for quite a while -

even in the pouring rain at one point before

hopping off. The hopping off photos aren't

very good, but I liked the "action" in it.

May your day be rich in beauty

and large and small miracles.
