Sometimes the light hits just right.
And in just five minutes
it dances and glows and paints shadows
that surround and make silly
the inhabitants inside
assuring them that
there will be dinner on the grill,
plenty in the pantry,
laughter in the love,
and jaw dropping wonder from the kitchen window.....
Sometime you just look around
and your only prayer
is 'thank you.'
Love
kj
Beautiful post KJ!!
ReplyDelete♥from me and a thank you!
so true. it is wonderful just to be alive and experience spring and the simple beauty around us. thanks. lovely post.
ReplyDeleteSometimes things just seem to be absolutely perfect! I love the scene from the kitchen window! Have a very happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots - all captured during my favourite time....twilight.
ReplyDeleteThese photos tell me that YOU are going to be fine... when the beauties of the world - both outside and in, resonate to your mind and heart, you ARE healing...
It makes me feel so happy to see you feel this way.
Love.
♥ Robin ♥
Now you're talking my language girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteWhen I walked the beach in CA every day I would turn to the water and quiet myself and then say a simple "thank you."
It became my daily prayer, and I'd repeat it again at night but I'd add "thank you for another day."
I'm delighting in spring here once again. I can't get enough of the birds in the early morning. They make my heart sing.♥
Very wonderful post Miss Poet ;)
xoxoxo
Lo♥
Oh, look at Miss Emily Plush! She is in heaven there. :) And I know exactly what you mean. Last night, the DH, Lucas and I went out into the moonlight to watch the space shuttle fly over. The very first fireflies were out, there was a slip of a crescent moon, and Venus was so bright I felt like I could touch it. We just stood in the yard, looking up, with a cool breeze blowing over us. I said, "Thank you.", too. xox!! Pam
ReplyDeleteThis is true and these are stunning photos! Even on a bad day there are things that just take your breath away. Happy Sunday!

P.S. I am mad at the post office!
There is living.
ReplyDeleteThen there is being alive to the world.
For that, the only response is awe.... and gratitude.
And joy in knowing friends who live with their eyes open to it all.

marianne, i'm glad you had a great vacation and i'm glad you're back!
ReplyDeletesuki, ♥! ah, i'm guessing it's a nice day for you today. :)
marion, who i love and think about more often than it may appear: you too, in the cariBOO! my season is about a month ahead of yours, right? and then there's silke who is already into tomatoes!
robin, good afternoon. i didn't think about it being twilight, now i know: it is a special time when the light bounces off the grsss and sea and mountains. (i miss the sea, not til august. i am doing much better, and i hope you are too. but if you're not, i'll wait in the clearing for you to catch up. ♥
what a wonderful comment, laurel. the birds know you are a friend. ♥ and i'm glad new england can now properly welcome you back.

linda, have i told you i'm glad you are back and i missed your comments? how many times have i told you? :) and yes, open eyes change everything. and then there is lori's 'snowblind' eyes, where love sees in its own wonderful way.

ReplyDeleteHi KJ,
ReplyDeleteI love those moments in the evening, when the sun is setting and the color is changing as you watch. I ran---no, waddled--as fast as I could in night clothes and house shoes out to the back of the acre (through knee high thistles) to try and capture a glorious sunset. It had for the most part vanished by the time I got from the kitchen to the back yard.
But it is that one glorious moment of *glow* that I try over and over to capture......
XXOO!!
Anne
P.S. Tell Emily *Hi*....
Wonderful, dear one, wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Beauty and mystery everywhere.
ReplyDeleteDe-Lovely! **kisses** Deb
