Lauren @ Thanky with her post titled Aware: “I saw an owl tonight, and it was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in a long time. The faintest bit of light remained in the sky, and in a matter of minutes the trees would be silhouetted against a dark night. But I could clearly see the treetops, and something was circling overhead. With a graceful spiral motion, it landed gently on a branch up high...” Read more here. Lauren writes about something she is thankful for each day.  Be sure to check out her blog.

Carol @ Radiating Blossom with her share of a poem by Jane Hirschfield titled When Your Life Looks Back:

When your life looks back—
as it will, at itself, at you—what will it say?

Inch of colored ribbon cut from the spool.
Flame curl, blue-consuming the log it flares from.
Bay leaf. Oak leaf. Cricket. One among many.

Your life will carry you as it did always,

Ray @ A Simple Village Undertaker with his share of a letter from Sinead O’Connor to Miley Cyrus titled: Wisdom From an Unlikely Source. “...Dear Miley…I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way ‘cool’ to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos.

Makere @ Makere’s Blog with her comment on my post Killing Jesus: “I’ve been there. Hurrying home one Friday night, tired, I passed a young man who asked for money and instead of pausing as I so often do, I shook my head and carried on… his quiet words followed me.. ‘I’m just so hungry.’ I will never, ever forget that moment of absolute shame and simultaneous remembrance that some many years ago, that might have been my then lost son.” Read more here.

Juno @ Juno Photography with her post titled Ozymandias of Oryx in the desert in the Emirates. Juno has travelled the world and shares amazing shots, poetry and haiku in her posts.  Be sure to check it out her blog here.

  5. I officiated a wedding a week ago outside at nearby Waterville Valley and we prayed with eyes wide open so as to enjoy a view similar to this one. Great picture and post!

  11. Another gorgeous kaleidoscope of wonderfully curated content. WMS, pal, you find such a rich array of delicacies to bring to the banquet each week. Those of us lucky enough to be at the table are fortunate indeed. Especially tickled to see Eunice’s photo–we’re heading up that way next weekend. 🙂
