'In this beautiful but broken world, comrades, we misfit mystics know: Our hearts must sow seeds of kindness so that rivers of peace with justice flow.'
When we meet the sunset with open eyes
we discover a quiet warmth
that keeps glowing within us
long after the light has faded

At times, it's not about being mean; circumstances just fog your brain, and words won't come easily.

Her ghost is still afloat,
she knits invisible garments,
believes a “u” is a smile,
unaware of her own wake
Mount Rainier rises above the far shoreline beyond calm water, with soft pink evening alpenglow lighting the snow-covered upper slopes. Layers of lavender and gray clouds stretch across the sky, while dark trees and scattered waterfront homes form a deep blue band below the mountain. The smooth water in the foreground reflects the cool tones of the scene with a faint hint of pink. The photo feels calm, quiet, and gently luminous.
While I was at the Lake Washington this week, Mount Rainier caught my eye in this beautiful evening light. The pastel sky and quiet reflection gave the whole scene a peaceful feel.
Love is a soft subtle giggle
in the vast worldly tangle.
In noise, in silence;
one face, one voice I long for;
heart fixed on a quiet, distant star.

Maybe we both would’ve been content and at peace, and everything would’ve felt right;
if only you weren’t so afraid…
I wish it didn’t ache this much.
My rosey cheeks glowed
like bright peony petals
'neath his gentle gaze.

Eurasian Blue Tit pecking open a poppy seed pod to get at the seeds. Common behaviour in that part of south Cheshire in the 1980s although apparently little documented. Around 40 years later an American naturalist observed American Goldfinches doing the same thing and suddenly it was interesting and unique behaviour.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Petals&Perches. A juvenile Eurasian Blue Tit pecking open a poppy seed pod in a south #Cheshire garden. More details in the alt text.

An early spring mountain landscape with a large larch tree in the foreground and a stone hut in the background. The scarcity of surrounding trees indicates that the location is the maximum altitude above which they no longer grow.

Keep your hand on my heart as you kiss me, so you can feel how it stumbles...overwhelmed by the first language your lips teach mine.

I once asked an elder how to be happy…
She said with words that glowed…
Go ask a flower it will know…

A pulse without leaves and becomes.
A gaze made constant,
where time forgets motion
and yields into grace.
The immensity of an open sky
in that nearness
between cloud and cosmos—
No sky its boundary
only quiet vastness opens
beyond both day and night.
No distance can prove,
all that I am
falls gently into You.

Spires of purple lilac flowers against a bright blue sky with some fluffy white clouds.
🌱 #BlueskyMonday and #magentaMonday. It’s Lilac season! The year seems to be flying by. If you want me, I will be in my tiny garden.
Some days they need you to sit with them in the dark...

When we are together,
the unity of opposites
grows fragile—
a whisper poised at breath’s edge.
So fragile,
that if I were to draw
a fine line around your lips,
with a kiss,
your words would fade,
turning into allusions—
soft shadows of unspoken thoughts.
