Being Completely Myself in This Moment

Tree Branches in My Front Yard

It feels good to be writing again after a break of several months.  We need breaks.  They can give us a fresh perspective.  But it is good to be back at my writing table, a familiar place, one I love and where I nestle in the comfort of being completely myself in this moment.    

Oh, how good it is to be present in this moment and to allow the flow of this moment into the next as I listen to Bach and write for 25 minutes!  This is the method I will use in the next few weeks to record my thoughts. I shall share those thoughts here on this blog for you, my reader, as God leads both of us.   

God is here with me as God is there with you.  There are an abundance of gifts all around us, all awaiting our openness to receive them.  Do you believe this?  I know that I do!  

Openness in this moment to the gifts that are here right now is my theme.  My writing is an invitation for you to receive the gifts God is bringing through me as I unwrap my own presents and show them to you.  

Since I am a photographer, I shall often post photographs.  It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.  That's the way I view each of my photographs.  A great deal is being shown, so I encourage you to tarry a while with each one and allow the scene to invite you in.  Walk around and take your time to see what is there. Let the Spirit speak to your heart.    

I consider my photographs as prayers.  Most of them are taken as I stand breathless before a view, completely enraptured and in awe.  

I look out my bedroom window and see the results of a recent snow.  I thought you might enjoy seeing the photograph I took outside my bedroom window.   

All the blessings of starting again,
