avoid living
theme of busy mind
as it fiddles with past and fantasy future
hearts wisdom:
conquer twirling scenarios
rest in the solitude of spaciousness
magic grows

walking in the woods this week
the quality of the air 'caught' my attention
immersed in a spacious feeling
there was no thinking
distinct realization of being in a living moment
filled me
along with a sense of being enlivened ~

I can so relate to your words, I know what you mean. Wonderful work Tammie!
ReplyDeleteI also can relate and that is a beautiful macro with amazing color! Beautiful, Tammie!
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful words and stunning flowers as always Tammie. Majestic!
ReplyDeleteI've felt that often. Great words.
ReplyDeletewonderful to see it so close up! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteI feel that way too~ When I walk outside ^^
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words. I've also had that feeling when walking through woods :)
ReplyDeleteWalking in the woods always does that to and for me - the air, the light, the fragrance, the colors.
ReplyDeleteForest = for rest, at least for me.
Great flower and words.
ReplyDeleteI have walked the woods several timea this week, for long walks. Beautiful weather, crisp air, gorgeous colors....I know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Tammie!
Superb. I felt slightly elated today after a wonderful autumn walk in the palace grounds. It was early enough to avoid the crowds and that was a huge satisfaction. Looking at trees, leaves, berries, listening to birds and watching magpies was a moment where I forgot everything. So your words again ring so true.
ReplyDeleteLiving the moment.. How precious is that..
ReplyDeletetotally relaltable stuff here...
ReplyDeletei love osi prompts!

ReplyDeletei love osi prompts!
Tammie: That is a beautiful bloom.
ReplyDeletethe lighting gives the feeling of an abstract!
ReplyDeleteenormous wisdom, Tammie. So many people focused on past or "fantasy future" manage avoidance of today.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than to capture yourself in the moment of now...you expressed this so beautifully. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous macro!
ReplyDeleteYour words are always filled with lyrical thoughts.
As I was out today in the cooler air enjoying the fall weather we are having your words of 'the quality of the air' really fit my experience today.
So peaceful.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I enjoyed this very much. Made me think of Rabbi Rami Shapiro's book on lovingkindness.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! Thanks so much for sharing your timely thoughts and this beautiful image ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Hi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteI love walking too but today I lifted my dahlias instead...nevertheless, it is so invigorating being outdoor in a balmy weather.
Beautiful flowers and words.
ReplyDeleteluscious color sandy
ReplyDeleteLovely shot. Are they Impatiens Glandulifera?
ReplyDeleteWalking in the woods, or near them, is good for the soul.
"conquer twirling scenarios" :)
ReplyDeleteKnow when to get off of the Merry Go Round. A couple times around is fun enough. But then we begin to yawn.
beautiful picture, and indeed walking in the fresh air can really ground us, awaken us, and feed our soul.
ReplyDeletepeace
Lovely that so many of you have similar experiences when walking in nature.
ReplyDeleteDelphyne,
I enjoyed what you wrote:
Forest = for rest
Hi Frank,
This is a close up of a clover flower.
N.Moments, love that the yawn shows up.
Heart felt gratitude for all your visits!
Wow .. I love both the macro shot and the poem. Weldone!
ReplyDeletePhotography at its best and such a lovely poem, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo Tammie and your words are beautiful too... I love "twirling scenarios" and "solitude of spaciousness". Connecting with nature in the way you describe is such a special one... living in the moment... a way to live... an inspiration. Carol
ReplyDeleteHi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteI love the "solitude of spaciousness" and sometimes find it in the NOW.
Beautifully written...so serene and spacious.

ReplyDeleteHi Arija,
ReplyDeleteYes, that is pink clover with my macro lens. Each little flower almost looks like an orchid or well something sweet for sure!
Beautiful image and words, as always!
ReplyDeleteYour first poem reminds me of what I do way too often: live in the past and the future and not the present. And your second expresses why I love the wilderness — that is when I do live in thepresent. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely words of wisdom! Strong and thoughtful. It's nice to know we are neighbors on this spinning ball -
ReplyDeleteI like both the photo and the poem. Well-done!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful soul is timeless, indescribable loving and expanding. This is everyone, everywhere.

ReplyDeleteLots to think about with "rest in the solitude of spaciousness" What a wonderful thing to be able to do. Lovely poem~
ReplyDeletebeautiful poem dear:)...complimenting pic:)....
ReplyDeleteblooming
ReplyDeleteNo matter how busy and hectic things might get for us, those flowers remain so very peaceful fulfillng their purpose of creation.
ReplyDeleteYour poem reminds me of this,
'... Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: ... even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.'
Sorry I was late in getting here, so far mainly I have had time to answer only the comments. Thank you for peeking in on me. :-)

I have had those same feelings when walking in the woods. There is a feeling there that's hard to explain. Did I tell you my sister and I found a mountain lion sleeping at the top of a tree the last time we walked in the woods? It was amazing. He was about three stories up in an oak tree, resting on a huge branch.
ReplyDeleteYour photograph is so beautiful, too--one wonders what those flowers might be saying to one another.
Lovely reminder to listen to the wisdom of the heart and expand in the solitude of spaciousness ...
ReplyDeletepeace,

Your photo is enough to make my heart and mind smile, but then you added the beautiful poetry and the circuit in my head was complete. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd the ice crystals below? Spectacular also!
Sounds very refreshing indeed...."rest in the solitude of spaciousness magic grows" conveyed the enlivening moment beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words Tammie. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and smiles
a lovely flower and a beautiful space to be in--just being alive in the moment. Thanks for sharing!
