Singing Along the Journey

animals, birds, and nature

Dancing between the dark and the light…

An interesting morning. First I woke with a sense of peace. Can't remember the last time that happened in the city. Then I stepped out of the house and looked up...greeted by a sky full of visible stars. The next hour was a lesson in the dance between night and day...with this as the finale before I had to go home. Good start to a new month.

Resilience, pandemic style…

Saturday. Along the Anacostia. Honestly, these are words I never thought I would speak so often. But today as I greeted the hazy sunrise all I could think about was resilience. The incredible resilience of nature that you see here. Geese. Fish. Cormorants. And their human partners in creation...like Living Classrooms. Even 5 years ago this was not true. All of this before me reminds me of the times in my own life when I was resilient. Not stubborn. Not willful, but resilient...which I define as strength blended with surrender and cooperation. That's what I need today. How about you? Hope you find what you are looking for today.
