Time, Eternity and Clouds…

“Time is… too slow for those who wait too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve too short for those who rejoice but for those who love Time is eternity” Henry Van Dyke Have you ever marked time as you watched puff-ball clouds march across azure skies? I have always been…

Weathering The Storm

Last night there was a terrible storm… Wind swirling leaf and branch aloft… hard rain beating window glass… and visions of Texas-Oklahoma tornado’s dropping down from the churning heavens clouded my vision. Bustling about the kitchen, I threw this and that in the pot fearing the wind would knock out the power and I would…

Clouds and Rain…

This has been a tough week for many people… and as a friend, I hurt with them. Actually June has been a tough month. Four co-workers unexpectedly died, an old friend lost her son in a very tragic and shocking manner. While at work, I care for families whose babies have died or will die…

Father’s Day Gift… A Fathers Love

There are a lot of baby birds flying about outside the house and the bird feeder this year. The little fledglings that we have seen or more poignantly, heard are robins, field sparrows and cardinals, mostly.

Looking At Both Sides Now

“Rows and flows of angel hair, ice cream castles in the air and, feather canyons everywhere… I’ve looked at clouds that way… “ As a little girl, I used to love that song! Both Sides Now was written by a folk singer from Canada by the name of Roberta Joan Anderson aka Joni Mitchell. I…

Looking At Clouds

Don’t you love to watch clouds… Yesterday was absolutely perfect for cloud watching… it really was. My favorite clouds are the ones you see on bright sunny days that look like fluffy cotton… brilliantly-white, so bright that it hurts to look sometimes… floating leisurely in the currents of a heavenly sea. Maybe, some of the…
