Sunday Morning

Posted on by Live & Learn

Softest of mornings, hello.
And what will you do today, I wonder,
to my heart?

— Mary Oliver, from “Softest of Mornings” in “A Thousand Mornings: Poems” (Penguin Books, 2012)

  2. Agree with Beth. Lovely that Cliff spot and all the magic that one can view from its perch. Great capture DK. Happy Sunday.

    1. Cara, we had a spot like this when we lived in Torquay (Devon, UK). And it was rare to see just one person sitting on a bench. If it wasn‘t a couple, they had a dog next to them. Lovely memory.

  4. We, in Switzerland, celebrate out Thanksgiving (we call it officially Thank, Repentence, and Prayer-Day). You won’t find many articles in the papers, it seems we have forgotten to be thankful for anything, not to speak of praying, or repenting….. so, there: We had a lovely service in our church, the altar and surrounding decorated with fruit, veggies, edibles, flowers – afterwards all the goodies were distributed amongst those who wanted something and a larger basket was brought to a family from Turkey who fled their country…. that’s what my heart and I did today.

  6. I can imagine these photos with dialogue from this couple as they begin their day…so evocative and lovely.
