Navigating life through grandparenthood, chronic illness, dream work, and other inspirations
A walk in nature reduces life-sized problems
to ant-like awe – an open secret often ignored.
I travel back roads, am humbled by
the power of farm machines,
the vastness of the sky.
Gratitude larger than this limiting skin.

A mid-morning glide
geese on frosted river
A glance bank at Summer
cone flowers snugly coupled
Two tasty treats, memories
of late October tricks…
(For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: two of anything.)
Leaves lingering in Autumn light
Kindred kayaks for keeners
Light-footed leaper levitating
For Cee’s Black & White challenge: things that start with K and L
Our town’s quaintness is derived from the stone buildings, sourced from the local limestone quarry.
As magnificent as these historic buildings are, I understand they are hard to heat in winter months.
Our winters, in southwestern Ontario, Canada, can be harsh. I am grateful for modern materials like clay bricks, and of course, insulation, that keep us safe and cosy inside our homes.
(For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: bricks and stone)
Heart of the home is the kitchen,
delight of tempting aromas,
dishes eliciting stomach growls
appealed infinitely increased
when shared with others.
