In this moment.
Everything changes.
Everything is the same.
The canvas of our life,
sometimes dark,
sometimes bright.
And everything is sacred.
Every flower, every tree,
every rock, every stone,
every you, every me.
My song this day
in every way,
with all that I can be,
is gratitude and love, for life,
perceived in every moment.

There is a gazebo at the end of the garden. It overlooks the estuary. When the tide is in, sea water pools around seaweed covered rocks. The sound is peaceful, meditative. I drink an early morning coffee, listen to the birds singing morning songs, watch a spider spin his fragile life between timber beams above my head. Even in the harshest of winters, the rise and fall of tides, sun-light on water, movement of sky, cloud, moon and stars, allows an awareness of nature behind the mask of perceived reality. I offer my words and pictures in celebration and gratitude to God, for allowing me a glimpse behind the mask.
