Thank you Karen for your words and pictures so glad your feeling better~ Step step breathe~I took my spouse went to ER last Sunday~ we reversed roles~ she was in horrible pain~ Gallstones ~ she having surgery Thursday ~ and I am so apprehensive for her~ worried about things out of my control ~ I am going to start this step ~step~ breathe. Thank you again ❤️
Step step step breathe - sounds like a great mantra. Love the Lord of the Rings reference. Yes, things seem to be happening in our time and we have to move slowly with it.
This was just what I needed to read this morning. I just saw a deer by water on my walk, and you put into words how I felt. Thank you for writing this.
I feel much the same way as you, my friend. This second half of life is turning out to be not at all what I expected. Instead of feeling more solid, many days it feels more and more fragile.
But you do offer guidance. On Sunday mornings, as I sit on my porch and listen to the birds and insects chatter away, your email every week guides me to a place of stillness and communion with nature. And your words "step, step, step, breathe" are wise counsel indeed. Thank you as always for sharing your beautiful images and words.
As we respond in the Mass, "Lord, hear our prayer." Prayers ascending for you and me and all of us as we navigate the slippery slopes and shifting sands of the times in which we live. May love, courage, and fortitude light our paths.
Thank you for the Gandaf quote. Really love it
Beautiful, and the Tolkien quote to close it. Perfect.

Thank you for reminding us of the words of Rilke.
Have a peaceful, breath-ful week.
