Discoveries
The forest floor was one discovery after another! We met so many mushrooms and then their sister and brother.
From large to small – they were short and they were tall. I hope we meet many more this fall.

Be well, be safe, and happy weekend friends!
Ring of Moss
Here we gather round
The Pine Council is here found
Barefoot on the ground
Lawn Council
Plans are afoot
The council has gathered
This meeting is called to order
Surviving
One fellow’s journey
Took him above the melee
It’s a nice view from up there
Free of the coop

(I can think of a good rhyme here)
~
A few moments respite
Can make the difference between
Drowning in feathers and squawks –
or surviving
August Photo a Day Challenge 11 – Vivid, Colorful
Keeping cares
Thinking that wears
Is time spent
That we wish to relent.
However,
In the midst of the fog
Knee-deep in the bog,
You may just find
The cause for the bind.
So, Look up. Look out.
Give the new morning a shout!
Sanctuary
Gliding on still waters, the dip of the oars push me forward into turtle’s murky sanctuary. Am I still in the water, or am I rowing out into the clouds…
Shardorma
A shardorma is a simple syllabic poetry form which consists of six lines following a syllable pattern of 3–5–3–3–5–7. The six lines can be a complete poem or they can be strung together as stanzas to form a long poem.
Kayaking
Sky’s looking-glass shifts
The oar dips
Dips again
Turtles go splashing
A living dream on water

Word of the Day Challenge – Dream
Rainy Day
Busy
Driven to accomplish
Rain brings a pause
Slowing life
Serenity soaks the heart
Thirst is quenched
We have all we need
Within
Unhurried
Allowing time-outs
Slowing into the moment
Risks joyful ventures
Balancing all we Do
Inner peace is a keeping of balance. There is joy in having enough time to do things quietly and without hurry.
What is one thing I can take my time with today to really enjoy?

A Lesson from Squirrel
🐿 Cee’s Flower of the Day – FOTD 🐿
What does squirrel see? She scampers down from her tree.
Here lies nourishment for winter’s pantry.
The cold will come again. But, she will be happy then.
She and her family will have full bellies.

“Squirrel… you have gathered nuts by the score, exactly predicting if you’ll need more. Teach me to take no more than I need. Trusting Great Mystery to harvest the seed.”
~
“Squirrel has another message which can aid you if you observe what is obvious, and which can prepare you for anything. It has to do with a safe place in which to put your gatherings. This safe place is an untroubled heart and mind, and that which is gathered to put in this place is wisdom and caring.”
