“To Them All”

O God, my Master, should I gain the grace;

To see Thee face to face when life is ended;

Grant that the dogs who once pretended

That I was God; may see me face to face.

I saw this sign on a dog kennel whilst in South Africa many years ago, and it stayed with me. I think it is humbling to lessen our superiority over others and especially over other species of animals.

Time is the coin of your life,

it is the only coin you have;

And only you can determine

how it be spent.

Be careful lest you let others

spend it for you.

Carl Sandburg

It takes courage to live your life by your own desire, and strength when that desire goes against the grain. Be mindful of your own desires and those imposed on you. Be wise in following your truth whenever you can, and be brave, it’s your life after all.

It’s not so much the things we say, 

But more the way we say it

A little thought before we speak can make such a difference, because once the words are out, they cannot be taken back. A kind edge to how we speak will add a warmth to your soul and brighten someone’s day.

Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)

This morning as, I partook in my daily yoga based stretches outside, taking full advantage of the beautiful sunshine, I was serenaded by two Kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) in the trees of our field.

Whilst I couldn’t really see them, only glimpse of their courtship display flight when it appeared over the garden hedge, but their chatter was loud and constant and filled the sky. It made me pause to just listen . . . it’s probably a little late in the season to be mating for another brood, but it has been very warm, in the 20s everyday for weeks now, so maybe more chicks will be on the way.

The sheer wonder of nature yet again infiltrating my daily life, such things make my day, and these two will resonate with me the whole day, love it and appreciate how lucky I am! Beautiful moments stay with you . . .
