Creating the World

/ Beth Weaver-Kreider / Leave a comment

Gratitude List:
1. A visiting student from Chile told me today that his favorite poet is Gabriela Mistral, so I looked her up. Her name was sort of vaguely familiar. Now I am loving diving into her work.
2. A bare treeful of redwinged blackbirds.
3. Buds! The trees are budding!
4. The green! Oh, the green! The hills surrounding my hollow are Brigadoon-green.
5. The way this cat loves his purple blanket. We keep this purple bedspread in the living room for snuggling on cold evenings. No matter where in the room it is, that’s where Fred chooses to sleep these days.

May we walk in Beauty!

Yesterday’s pictures was last year’s poppies in the rain.  This year’s picture was taken in the same week, but this is what they look like.

Gratitude List:
1. The profound effect of stories.
2. Stepping out of the doors, opening the windows, living in the big and vast and immeasurable realms
3. Teamwork and collaboration
4. All that is about to burst into bloom
5. Getting ready to turn the page

May we walk in Beauty!
