PEACE
I’m posting a short piece that I wrote this past fall . Maybe it will give you a small reprieve from the frigid temps that are now outside.
Written 9/24/09
Looking forward into a mirror, at a backward reflection outside my window,
of forest green pine branches moving left to right as the wind stirs them against a sunlit clear blue sky.
This brings me peace as I witness its simple beauty.
The bend of a quiet road flanked by a stone wall on one side
and rose bushes gone by on the other, sit quietly beneath that tall pine.
A blue jay’s harsh song begs for its mate
to witness this time, this place in the mirror above my desk.
My work day keeps me inside where I can only look,
but my view brings me peace and makes me smile

My intention for this blog is to share my observations and reflections in the hopes that they might give someone else a visual breath of fresh air and few moments of a mental get away.
I am so inspired by the incredible scenery of Cape Cod, that I try to capture in words what an artist does with paint. This makes my senses come alive and see, feel, hear, smell and touch things as if for the first time. Although I’ve always had an appreciation for natural beauty, this is the first time that I’ve connected to its wisdom. I’m transported into the scene and feel like I’m taken on a mini vacation that is both calming and invigorating. I hope that in reading my blog, you also come away feeling a little better.

Again well done. I felt myself at your side looking into the mirror. I have the added advantage of knowing exactly where you were. YOU do find beauty everywhere. Linda
Thank you Linda.
