I wake to a vague feeling of sadness
It’s not over-whelming, but just a low, deep feeling within
Sometimes I can shake it off, sometimes not.
Do you have such days?
Lypophrenia (n.) A vague feeling of sadness seemingly without any cause.
Yep, that’s me, sometimes.

They are not always there, but when they are —-STUNNING!

I came across Boo Berry just sitting in the sun, eyes closed, just sitting.
“What ya Doing, Boo?”
“Just sitting—letting the world go by.”
“Really!?!! Nothing? Why? There is so much to do and so many
Things to see. Why just sitting there doing NOTHING!!!?” I expounded. “NOTHING!”
“Well, ya. See the sun is warm right here. I’m sitting in this perfect sunspot, my fur is black and the air is cold so this is perfect. Just, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, perfect” Boo Berry closed her eyes and laid down.
I just stared at her.
“You always do nothing.”
“No, I don’t. I have been writing a story….first I write in my my mind then I will put it on paper.”
“A story?”
“Yes, a story, and it’s a very good story. Once I’m ready Mom will put on paper and then—-well, there it will be.”
“I think you are silly, Boo Berry, why sit around writing a story when there are things to doooooooooo!” TLC scrammed off.
The songs of the birds, the drones of the bees, mingle with the pulse of the earth
As does the sun
casting shadows
The granules of dirt, the sound of water, the sun, the sky
Bring completeness to each and every soul.
From my world to your heart,
Linda
I would often stop and listen to the bird songs and the distant sounds of traffic and thank God for allowing me to drift into this dream-like time with nature.
A true blessing.
Sturmfrei: the freedom of being alone, the ability to do what you want. The literal translation of the German word is “storm-free”.

The colors of a summer sky blazed across the heavens (even though we are still in Spring)
And a storm was ‘a brew’n

Plus the strumming of the Earth’s vibrations
As spring starts warming the air—in a more substantial way.
My lilacs froze this year (along with all the fruit), but this late bloom made it—to lift the spirits of anyone who passes by.
We had a cold front move through, bringing back winter sunrises—just for a couple of days
Here is our headgate (the long metal box) where time always seems to stand still —- the roaring, tumbling water mesmerizing!
Spring so full of life that sometimes you can feel the earth humming.
Gokotta yo-‘kot-tah—Swedish (n.): “Dawn picnic to hear the first birdsong; the act of rising in the early morning to watch the birds or to go outside to appreciate nature.

After a lot of this—–
WE GOT A RAINBOW!!!
I just love seeing Magic in the air!
