From the light rail
Oh small gentle heart, small self, young one. May I listen to you, may I hold you close, may I let your innocent heart be open and joyful, may I not fear contact with others. May I let you open. May I open without fear or in spite of fear. May I be generous and kind. May I listen with you, oh gentle self, and may I hear the gentle self of others: the gentle self of a friend, of a loved one, of an acquaintance, of a stranger, and even of those who have hurt me. May I have no enemies. May my heart shine with your glory, oh small gentle heart, small self, young one. May I stay connected with you, open to you and open through you to the Beloved, to all beings and all things.
Blessings and thank you, Beloved.

Sunrise, Port Townsend Bay, 2012, with Mount Rainier in the distance.
I took this at the Jefferson County Farmer’s Market in Port Townsend this Saturday with my phone. A gorgeous day and a live band. Who was playing? A band with Crow in the name….
I am submitting this to Mundane Monday #119.
Boa Cat is not really black…when the sun hits her fur she has auburn tones. But, ok, don’t mess with her, because most of the time she looks like a black cat. This is just light reflecting from the flash, right?
We’d just like any special powers to stay dormant…
I took this in 2014. Even the photograph makes me long to fly, flocks flying and calling always do. My heart tries to leap towards them, longing.
A migrating flock isΒ a door into longing for me.
Taken in the boatyard this week, I am submitting this to photrablogger’s Mundane Monday #118.
For the Daily Prompt: moxie.
More happy bees. I am so brave to get so close to photograph them! Moxie me!
I took a walk last night. This patch of lavender was 5 by 5 feet and the bees were so very happy about it….
Two days ago we came across this song sparrow on the sidewalk below a windowed walkway. Stunned, we thought. Not dead. I poured a little water on the sidewalk just in front of the bird and left it alone. It moved its’ head a tiny bit.
