It has always been an interest of mine to consider the nuances involved in my encounters with others, those that are nourishing and even those that are more distasteful for some reason. In recent years, my interest has broadened to include encounters with animals, nature, books, movies and now, online conversations with people who I treasure yet may never meet.

"Is the noise in my head bothering you?"

There are moments in which I am driven crazy by the cacophony of noise in my head; when the demands to get this and that done is almost nonstop. Until a line from the movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, bursts through the noise: "Is the noise in my head bothering you?" This is my signal to stop trying to 'do' - to pause - to breathe and step outside for some fresh air.
 

                                     Watch a big blue heron in flight.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Catch the sparkle of the sun's rays on the leaves of a tree.....
 
 
 
Take pleasure in the visits from those who require no words.....
 
 
 
                   Enjoy a pleasant dive into the part of my soul where peace dwells.....
