1534. being in autumn

 

he’s an autumn leaf

one with the golden carpet

perfectly at home 🦊❤️

I absolutely love watching Tommy be in the moment of every season of the year. Autumn is my favorite season however. He truly becomes one with his environment as the landscape morphs to gold. He becomes invisible, only being seen when he wants to be seen.  🦊❤️

1533. “post no bills - or lies”

 

ye olde town crier

was once a pole and staples

oh how times have changed… 🦊❤️

We live at a time when it is very easy to propagate useful information to our little worlds.  More importantly it is FAR too easy to spread useless, distorted and untrue information.  Be a discerning recipient as well as a prudent purveyor of “facts”. 🦊❤️

1532. “signs, signs everywhere signs…”

 

i ran a long race

my car climbed mt. washington

my kid aced preschool 🦊❤️

I was talking to someone recently about the tendency of some individuals who do really heroic and consequential things in their lives to never talk about them. Examples are WW2 veterans who earned Purple Hearts. Brave citizens who saved scores of people from death. Generous people who contribute greatly to those in need even though they have little themselves.  We now live in a time where we are predisposed to advertise and proclaim just about everything we do, monumental or mundane, with a sticker, sign, logo, badge, tattoo, t-shirt or facebook post. I am guilty of what I write about today.  Thank God for those who do what they do and are simply quiet about it. I admire you… 🦊❤️

1531. “butterfly effect” (google it)

 

a long time ago

it left its mark on the world

a mighty oak leaf 🦊❤️

EVERYTHING leaves an impression and contributes to how life unfolds. Some impressions and effects can be seen clearly, some faintly, some not seen at all. 🦊❤️

1530. keep on keepin’ on

leaning into life

pushing forward through the days

days that become years 🦊❤️

You will know persistence and resilience when you see it. 🦊❤️

1529. dreamy start to the day

 

the morning’s dampness

gently enveloping you

“are we in a dream?” 🦊❤️

The morning air was heavy with moisture. The conditions were perfect to create a dreamlike scene for a mysterious horse to make an appearance in. There is nothing better than starting the day by being captivated by a magical scene created by nature. 🦊❤️

1528. hope

 

we entered her “now”

for a few moments of gab

a hopeful doorway 🦊❤️

As we sauntered through the streets of Lambertville looking at Halloween displays, we were lucky to run into an artist named Hope. She was busy painting a beautiful garden on a store’s side door. She was as pleasant and interesting as the work of art that she was creating. As I look back on that day’s visit, I have decided to award Hope the prize of “The Most Friendly Stranger” of the day! Friendly people make our world a hopeful place. Thank you Hope!! 🦊❤️
