Simplicity

One of my favorite things to do is taking walks and photographs. These are from the last part of December. sometimes we have snow on the ground here sometimes not. Although I prefer the Spring months when the flowers are blooming and trees are budding each season has a beauty of it's own.

“If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.”
― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

“It is not your beautiful face or soft skin that kills me; it is your simplicity and being you.”
― M.F. Moonzajer, A moment with God ; Poetry

“Wherever you go, go with inspiration and aspiration.
Whatever you do, do with love and concern.
Whomever you see, see with purity's beauty
And responsibility's glory.”
― Sri Chinmoy, The Wings of Joy: Finding Your Path to Inner Peace

Spring's Song
So long the winter , so warm the heart,
Kissed by hope this tiny spark, winters chill cannot quench.
Patience holds on with faith not sight till the first glimpse of mornings light
As I embrace the journey that leads to Spring's song.

This is the time of the year when it feels like winter is never going to end. I am determined not to let it get me down. There are things happening in my life that I do not understand. Last night I gave into some discouraging emotions but there was enough of that spark of hope and trust to help me through. Whatever else happens Spring will come again, the flowers will bloom again and new life will be everywhere. Until then I pray to stir up the flame within and not to lose the song of my soul. The winter birds sing, why shouldn't I?
