Gosh Karen Davis! Your softening from slowing down really stood out to me in this post! Any sense of your feeling rushed was non-existent. I couldn’t feel any happier for you right now. Keep up the good, er, work!

What a treat to see that Hispid Cotton Rat! So many people think all rats are vermin, but our native wild rats are fascinating creatures. I'm glad the rain brought that one out for you. Please blow some of that rain West--we are parched here in western Colorado, and hotter than heck.

And thank you for sticking to turtle-pace practice. I am glad you can feel the benefits in your health, and I suspect, in your emotions and spirit too. Keep taking care of you--the rest will sort it self out one way or another. Hugs from desiccated me way off in the high desert.

Words do not suffice. The hispid cotton rat!!! The dragonflies with their intricately-laced transparent wings. They way you capture the small details of the living breathing natural world we are meant to live in harmony with. Thank you for bringing mid-summer's beauty to our inboxes and healing to our psyches Karen. You are such a gift!

Lovely Karen...you remind me it's my favorite time of year with Scorpio overhead and afternoon monsoon thundrrstorms. To be enjoyed while it lasts!
