Scars, always present in the shadows
Move unbidden into the light of awareness
Manifest in thought, feeling, word.
Then return to the shadows.

"Awareness becomes consciousness when it has an object. The object changes all the time. In conciousness, there is movement; awareness by itself is motionless and timeless, here and now."
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

Little wonders to remember: northern flicker, sparrow, slugs, rat, squirrel, field mouse, herons and their chicks, duck and her ducklings, hummingbird nesting.

Little mouse. I hope you made it. I hope you thrive.

Happy heavenly birthday Miika. You would have been 3 years old today. Where does the time go. Luna and I will celebrate your life on our walk along the river today. We love and miss you. You are always in our hearts. Love you forever.

Awareness isn't something we carry.
It's something we move through.

"Our little Heffley Lake cub is doing really well. He is eating well, gaining weight and improving his coordination and strength. What you are hearing are his happy sounds just after emptying his bottle of special bear milk. He gets still fed every 4 hours!"

The moon also sets.

Gratitude and Sorrow

If I had the choice of erasing you completely from my memory, or carrying this grief the rest of my life, I would choose the grief. I would choose you. I would choose the love, hope and dreams you brought into our lives. I would do it all again. Our precious shooting star. Miss you so.
