“Love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful
mind.”
—A Course in Miracles
There is something pure and lovely about vulnerability mixed
with a deep sense of thankfulness for the simple things in life that bring us
joy. In this place where tears and a quickened heart rate are never far away,
one is alert and receptive.

Her long and gently undulating hair aflame in the afternoon light

‣ Curious blue-eyed dragonflies
‣ Sudoku!

‣ A New Earth:
Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
‣ Bob Burns Books, where we always find something special. This year it was two contemporary seafarer
memoirs by female adventurers and a few Fairy Realm books in excellent condition.
‣ Afternoon concerts by the cicadas and crickets
‣ A virtual hug
‣ Enchanting sunlight in the early
morning/evening
‣ The tribal drum of distant thunder followed by a gentle rain
(that was pleasantly reminiscent of the sound of static at the end of a record)
