pomegranate rind

while browsing through some Etsy listings this morning, i was reminded of something very important :

(from Einstein)

not everything that can be counted counts,
and not everything that counts can be counted.

i wish to thank Mary Burrows for this. if you're interested, take a look see

birds' nest

this is precious to me -- those are my dogs' white hairs mixed in with the other elements.

should i talk about my dogs? or the sweet gift of finding nests in my yard now and then? or, maybe, how i am drawn towards certain animals and feel blessed by their presence in my days?

actually, i'll take this opportunity to suggest that you check out bower birds -- for inspiration, for putting a smile on your face, for getting a glimpse of primeval magic.

I have been drawn to beauty
driven to it hard, hard


screaming.

milk and honey

I like triptychs.

Though each element can stand on its own, the implied evolution speaks to my Heraclitean soul. And, too, I must confess, they compel me paradoxically to stop in my daily pilgrimage and assume a more contemplative stance.

Ah, divinity and gentle happiness!

banana seeds

we are surrounded by breath-taking beauty!

some background : i'm a breakfast person of the 1st order. there are few reasons to get out of bed more compelling than breakfast, and, to my mind, a supreme break fast food is banana. i count myself blessed that they are easy to find ( i prefer organically grown as i find them better tasting.)

that said, i offer this simple vision for you.
and a happy new year!
