On the Verge

My nephew married his love at the beach last Saturday.  I took the image above of her the night before.  Moments in time, moments of a lifetime.  On the sweet verge of a new life - on the sweet verge of LIFE.  Spring has sprung and its beauty is all around - in the sky and on the ground.  I want to walk and walk and soak it all in.  I want to feel this season in the core of my soul - the newness; the tenderness; the promise.

And I hope you do too.  And I hope you get to.  May we always be on the sweet verge of new life.

It was so beautiful on the lake this morning.  So so beautiful.  This is my favorite time of the year on the lake and I wish that I could sleep there - in a tent, on the ground, amongst the life ... no matter how fleeting, for I know how precious this season is.  Sometimes the tiny peeps last minutes; sometimes the calls to the wind and the wild last years.  Speaking of years, can you believe Papa Goose and I have been together for five years now and we are starting our sixth year together?  There are no words to express how much I love this soul.  He has been a confidante, a warrior, and an angel, and so VERY important to me in my walk of life.  I know he is a free bird living wild in a small town city.  I know that he will not always be here. But then again, neither will I.  ;-)  Turn, turn, turn .... the seasons; the reasons; and all that exists.  To every purpose under the sun.  So I try so very hard to memorize his call of the wild as I hear it across the lake before the sun rises.  I try so very hard to memorize every feather and every fiber of his being.  And I take a zillion pictures of him.  He, this goose of mine  ours, is family.


We are family.  We share the seasons; we share the walk of life; we share the now.

I love you,

Kim

Underneath the sky of blue, and down the street from the lake where the birds are nesting and the spring flowers are blooming, a neighbor took his life.  He was 49 years old.  While I did not know him personally, other than sharing a few conversations with him in the alleys and at the lake where he always walked his beloved dogs, my mother did.  He was wonderful to her and looked out for her every day.  He was loved by many, though he may not have been feeling that love as he left this earth.  I pray that somehow, someway, he knew of peace and unconditional love as his spirit soared to the care of our maker.  



In this season of hope and renewal, may we always find those who we have lost in the nurturing light and soulful song of the universe.  



God Bless him always.

Amen.

It has been so incredibly beautiful here and I love every bit of it.  We had our neighborhood home tour yesterday, and while Daisy Cottage wasn't on the tour, my next door neighbor's home was AND if you happened to walk by and I happened to be on the porch, and we happened to "connect" with a glance or a smile or a kind word, I invited you in.  It was so wonderful to do that!   I met Barbara and Amy - adorable ladies, and many other sweet and fun souls AND our own dear and beautiful Gail of Georgia came to see me, along with her precious mother, Nellie, and sweet sweet sister, Linda.  They come each year for the home tour and we try to see each other while I volunteer, but the last few years I wasn't home for the tour. Yesterday, however,  I was and I am so thankful that we could spend time together again!  I love each of you girls.... you always are a delight and a treasure and you always make my heart soar.  I also was so happy and surprised to see a dear friend of mine, Jane, walk through my gate with her beautiful friend, Anita. Sigh.  It was truly a heartwarming, soul-lifting, precious precious day.  Love was in the air.... and I am so grateful.

Grateful for blue skies.  Grateful for old and young doggies.  Grateful for color. Grateful for winged spirits. Grateful for new ducklings.  Grateful for Papa Goose. Grateful for flowers.  Grateful for food.  Grateful for friends.  Grateful for all things family and home. Grateful for brand new blooms and the hope that we see when we look up.

Always and forever,
Amen.
