“The golden moments in
the stream of life rush past us,
and we see nothing but sand;
the angels come to visit us,
and we only know them when
they are gone.”
George Eliot

Lichen World Pour
“You were aimed from birth:
you will never be alone.
Rain will come, a gutter filled, an Amazon,
long aisles — you never heard so deep a sound,
moss on rock, and years. You turn your head —
that’s what the silence meant: you’re not alone.
The whole wide world pours down.”
William Stafford
Seattle Sight
“For what you see and hear
depends a good deal on
where you are standing:
it also depends on
what sort of person you are.”
C.S. Lewis
I see a heart, a playful otter, and a flexed bicep…
What do you see?
Let The Rain Fall Down On Me
“The magic of purpose and of love
in its purest form. Not television love,
with its glare and hollow and sequined glint;
not sex and allure,
all high shoes and high drama,
everything both too small and
in too much excess, but just love.
Love like rain, like the smell of a tangerine,
like a surprise found in your pocket.”
Deb Caletti
Let The Light Shine Through
“From within or from behind,
a light shines through us upon things,
and makes us aware that we are nothing,
but the light is all.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Frozen Sight
“We cannot see things that
stare us in the face
until the hour comes
that the mind is ripened.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Only Fractured Within
“The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery,
and the only thing you need to recover
from is a fractured sense of self.”

Cairn
Today, cairns are built for many purposes. The most common use in North America and Northern Europe is to mark mountain bike and hiking trails and other cross-country trail blazing, especially in mountain regions at or above the tree line… Placed at regular intervals, a series of cairns can be used to indicate a path across stony or barren terrain, even across glaciers. Such cairns are often placed at junctions or in places where the trail direction is not obvious, and may also be used to indicate an obscured danger, such as a sudden drop, or a noteworthy point such as the summit of a mountain.
Although the practice is not common in English, cairns are sometimes referred to by their anthropomorphic qualities. In German and Dutch, a cairn is known as steinmann and steenman respectively, meaning literally “stone man”. A form of the Inuit inuksuk is also meant to represent a human figure, and is called an inunguak (“imitation of a person”). In Italy, especially the Italian Alps, a cairn is an ometto, or a “small man”. Wikipedia
“Each of us is carving a stone,
erecting a column, or cutting a piece of
stained glass in the construction of
something much bigger than ourselves.”

“When the stormy winds do blow;
When the battle rages loud and long,
And the stormy winds do blow.”
