Beholding…

There’s a difference between seeing something and beholding it.

Martin Shaw

The sun shines, the wind blows, the leaves on the trees dance wildly, robins sing happily, squirrels chase one another, a flotilla of pelicans float on the reservoir, and white clouds drift across the blue sky. There is so much beauty around us to see and behold. They all grab my attention, maybe even calling to me. I hope you had a wonderful Friday and may you have a wonderful weekend!!!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    There is so much beauty to appreciate during this time of year. The key is to truly “notice” it, which requires being present. I doubt that many people look up from their phones long enough to take it all in. Have a wonderful weekend, and I hope your back is still on the mend.

      You are right, my friend. I was standing on my porch as my neighbor walked by. With his eyes glued to what sounded like a video on his phone he never saw me or acknowledge me. A missed opportunity. It is overcast and cooler today. Had coffee and conversation with Eric this morning. So far the day has been good.
