Forgotten Places

Forgotten places

can hold forgotten treasure

or so I've been told

Hidden in Plain Sight

Lace Border Moth, July 2021

She blends beautifully

among the fallen, but not

as one who belongs

Remembering

Shadow play, February 2021
Magnolia, Texas

Hello shadow self,

now I am remembering

how you love to play

Thank you

The Hobby Horse, February 2021
Magnolia, Texas

Thank you Lord, for the things that have carried us this far.

Thank you Lord, for the thrill of adventure that came at the right time and shaped our becoming.

Thank you Lord, for helping us see what we have outgrown.

Thank you Lord, for this present day that opens before us.

Thank you Lord, that the adventure continues.

The Tree and Me

Pine, February 2021
Magnolia, Texas

 

We've both taken vows

setting roots in this place, our 

testament of love

* I am calling to mind the vow of stability taken by those in a Benedictine Monastery - the vow to stay for the long haul. To give yourself to a particular place and community. I admire this towering pine tree and I can only guess how old it is. I think of my connection to certain places over the years and the vows I've made in marriage and how they add up to a testament of love over time. I like to imagine that the tree and I share those vows of stability in some way.
