I was reflecting on those moments in life that are rare and special. Moments that unlikely will be duplicated again. Moments that bring joy and wonderment. Moments or sightings that I might take for granted and presume will happen again next year or next season, but often don't.
Such as . . .
the bluebird at the window in the middle of a snowstorm taking shelter,
the bluebird at the window in the middle of a snowstorm taking shelter,
the bunny teasing Sigi at the porch door,
the deer twins edging closer and closer, curious to know more,
a beautiful painted turtle crossing our path as Sigi and I took a fall walk,
the group of goldfinch in the spring eating the seed pods from the catmint at my window,
discovering a young fawn in the meadow, lost and confused and later united with her mother the following day,
finding a baby bunny hiding INSIDE my garden fence,
the fox in the upper meadow just hanging out,
walking out the front door and discovering the tiniest baby turtle right on the sidewalk,
finding baby bunnies huddled innocently in a mulch pile,
capturing the most beautiful afternoon rays of light shining through the petals of
these Richard Ahren's anemones,
and watching one of our bee girls in the spring collecting nectar.
(Our last hive died last week in the extreme cold).
Here are some quotes that I find fitting for these reflections:
"The only constant in life is change."
(Heraclitus)
"Learn to flow with life like a stream.
Change is the constant in our world,
everything and everyone is always
in a constant state of change.
Learn to flow with life,
relax and
enjoy the ride."
(Kemmy Nola)
