Posted on January 27, 2020 by hernibs

My hope is to reflect the beauty around me, rather than ugliness and destruction. Like the puddle and the pond if I care to gaze long enough to see not what is on the bottom but what it is reflecting, … Continue reading →

Southeaster

Posted on January 26, 2020 by hernibs

Southeaster wind howls through the woods twisting branches till they fall, cracks and thunks, we hold our breath a tree falls over, roots and all. We never get used to winter storm’s rage as we huddle indoors once more fear … Continue reading →

Live Peace, Speak Peace

Posted on January 23, 2020 by hernibs

“To live without speaking is better than to speak without living. For the former who lives rightly does good even by his silence but the latter does no good even when he speaks.” ~Abba Isidore of Pelusia

Vistas

Posted on January 19, 2020 by hernibs

Look past ferns and saplings, between cedar and maple where sun illumines something further away than eyes can see. Vistas in woods and life, distant points you have yet to explore. Go there, moving always towards unseen prospects or points … Continue reading →

Oranges in January

Posted on January 18, 2020 by hernibs

I don’t know if the cold kitchen has shocked it into producing but our little orange tree has flowers and oranges on it at the same time. Smells lovely and reminds me spring will come again.

Grandma Tree

Posted on January 17, 2020 by hernibs

Poor Grandma tree, the weight of snow and howling winds were too much to bear. The second limb this winter has fallen to the ground. What remains still stands tall and straight after more than 800 years of standing sentry … Continue reading →

Snow Day

Posted on January 13, 2020 by hernibs

The woods are covered in down, that rain slowly dilutes into puddles. I put a few puzzle pieces in their place then settle in by the fire to crochet. Snow day, a good excuse to be lazy. ©2020 Sharron R. … Continue reading →

Silence

Posted on January 9, 2020 by hernibs

“The ego uses words to get what it wants. When we are in an argument with our family, friends, or colleagues, that is what we do. We pull out the words that give us power, make us look right or … Continue reading →
