A delicate balance...

The other morning the world around here was covered in fine webs.

 Everywhere I looked they were stretched from here to there and back again....

A cats cradle of the finest silk string...

 Nature is always there to remind us...

 ...of the fragility...

 ...the strength...

 ...the pursuit of perfection...

 The need to connect to something solid...

 To anchor ourselves ...

 To find the right zone...

 Sometimes life makes no sense.

 Leaves us incomplete...

 How it can all fall apart in one breath...

 But in the end how beautiful it all is...

 

 "Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.

It will never fail you."

Frank Lloyd Wright.



Wordless Wednesday...

foggy dew...

Yesterday was quiet and still...



The weather was soft and crept over the landscape like a sheet of gauze...

Light rain gave the world depth and muted the sounds all around us...

It brought the deer out of the forest and into the field...

I spotted them first, like ghosts hovering in the wet grass...

...and then they spotted me...

Keeping watch through the mist, and me trying to reassure them with my own stillness...

Until they felt safe and went back to the business of grazing...

I love days like this, the spring rains that keep our landscape green and mossy.

Knowing that in a short time, we'll have our hot, dry days and the deer will

seek the solace of the woods for shade and the comfort of a cool place to lay.

For now, I gaze out as if through squinted eyes, soaking up the

atmosphere of the shroud enclosing me...
