------------------

Nature has been creative for countless eons,

and in this Holy Season of New Life arriving again

with the flowering of the birth of The New,

along with our seeing again, for the first time,

wonder, and all that joy brings. 

------------------------------

" ..... and I shall be

until the end of days.

There is no ending to my existence.

For the human soul is but a part

of a burning torch ...

which I separated from Myself

at Creation.

Thus My soul and your soul

are one .....

..... and we are one with God."

                                                                                                                Kahil Gibran

-----------------------

A blessed Season of hope to all.

Peace,  Bill Lagerstrom

   Timeline - The Season we are now in has been with us since the beginning, and continues with its vibrant colors this year.

    The single flower grew on one of our house plants just today. Photo taken 30 minutes ago. 

    The Christmas card is something I did with my photos 8-9 years ago.

     The image of the leaf is from a painting at the Colby College Museum of Art and is the artists rendition of a 

pre-historic group of leaves taken from fossils. The name of the artist escapes me but will be credited in the next post.

Welcome

                         Two Images of Divine Generosity

   

  God can only be seen 

when the Moment we see arrives.

Then a multicolored vision of rare beauty appears.

The moment can never be repeated in the same way again,

as God, living in the Present Second only

loves to create each moment as a new experience,

always in a new way.

Proof?

Look at us.

What two of us are exactly alike?

Look as well to Nature

where everything created gives homage to God,

acknowledging the Gift of life so freely given

by the One who loves each blade of grass,

each mountain, each creature,

each woman and man, and child,

each everything.

---------------------

The Lights of the Spirit are best seen at dawn.

Do not sleep late lest the Divine Illumination dims,

becoming invisible in the days brightness.

When we sleep a journey to a distant island is made,

a brief time spent on the other side of this life;

a foretaste of what is to come after we are done here.

In your dreams look for a boat on the beach 

you are walking on,

get in, row to that island. 

If you reach landfall before waking,

know this, the trip will be one way only.

Once awake on this side of eternity

that far shore is held safely in our heart's heart,

where only God resides.

Memory holds our future safely while we are here.
