DC Challenge: No Limits

Roberto is our wonderful host this weekend 

his prompt is: No Limits

at first i thought i was going to share about the endless amount of wild foods to be found this time of year

but instead this piece of art came to me

first as in ink drawing

then to be watercolored

~

there are no limits to her wings

she even has some that are unseen

wings in her heart

her spirit and soul

all that take her

anywhere she wishes to go

DC: Memories..... and there are so many ;-)

recently
i have been smitten with the present moment

inspired by

wanting to know how to best care for my land

so i listen

to the breeze animating the trees

and 

the beauty of flowers tilting their heads to the sun

(fairy slipper, Calypso orchid)

 

tiny fungus as they rise through the surface of the earth

in doing so

i have found myself in a deep quiet joy

that is what the present moment can inspire

deep quiet joy

and i thought (memories) of other moments in my life

that brought me present to:

 deep quiet joy

my son falling asleep on my shoulder

the colors of the setting or rising sun

a kiss

where nothing else exists

the first sip of coffee in the morning

photographing ice crystals and snowflakes

creating art

dancing

and 

dancing with a partner

(dancing with violets)

the list goes on

i love it when the past falls away

and the future is where it belongs.... in the future

and i am 

completely absorbed

in now

i feel that is the best

experience of my 56 years of life

~

it seems the presence is in this moment and in my memories

so many memories!
