All of Nothing

Beth Blog 0 1

1a

The mountains and lake truly called me to come and walk. The voice of deadlines exuberantly competed. Who could deny the value, gentleness, and even necessity of either voice? But sometimes quietly, sometimes vigorously the voice of Now whispers and says “Simply here. Simply here, now.  As is.”…..

So May I

Beth Blog 2 1

How many times I have walked the same path but my eyes never reached to her height. This early morning her statue so powerful could not miss. Look at her dance on the rocky mountain hill! What teased her body into such a sway of joy? How…..

Touch of Pollen

The intent was simple, to clear a flower bed untended for years. There was so much growth of grass, weeds and young trees, what may have been intentional could not be saved. To clear and replant was the only choice. With lots of shoveling I began to…..

Two Faces of a Coin

Beth Blog 0 1

Remembered Gaze

Achilles’s Starry Clime

Beth Blog 0 0
