I am learning to see.
I don’t know why it is,
but everything enters me more deeply and doesn’t stop where it once used to.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

And the challenge becomes… as I learn to see and listen and feel deeply, all my senses awakened, it is not just ‘the good’ that enters. It is all of it.
Your images this morning enter and touch those raw parts that are on alert, waiting. waiting. waiting for news that is still too soon to tell.
Thank you for the peaceful respite and the reminder to see the beauty and let it wash away the anxiety. To feel the Love and let it embrace the fear.

I saw the one that went rogue on Monday or Tuesday (can’t remember which day), but thought you’d re-post it today. As for coming off the rails, join the rest of the world. Everything is a bit crazy just now. Maybe Caleb will be back next Wednesday?
