The sun is in and out of the clouds. First sun dappled leaves, then overcast sky. Small young chickadees come to the feeder. A robin lands in the birch, the breeze blows. Yellow lilies turn bright faces toward the light. Winter White Chai in my cup has cooled to the right temperature. Even though it is a winter flavor, I savor the anise, cinnamon, cardamom.
Earlier this morning the neighborhood was quiet when I walked. The grass is too wet to mow. Cardinals, chickadees, doves, and robins called to each other and were my company. Where ever you are, I wish you a moment to stop, breathe, and be.
You conjured up a lovely moment. I love listening to the bird first thing in the morning. We have a screened porch, which is perfect for morning coffee, knitting & bird-listening.
ReplyDeleteYes, a lovely, peaceful moment. So important to pay attention.
ReplyDeleteYou described this so well that I could feel the peace of the moment. Happy summer!
ReplyDeleteYou captured a lovely moment with you words and photos! I hope you are savoring many more of them this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI tried when I awoke to meditate to the sound of a cardinal calling. She was so consistent. It was nice. I love your lilies!
ReplyDeleteThat just sounds like a lovely morning! There is plenty of bird song these days which is lovely. Wishing you a peaceful and pleasant week.
ReplyDeleteoh! your lilies a few days ahead of mine. I think they only just started to bloom yesterday. Your moment is precious and all moments should be this restorative.
