Blessed Be
 

This is such a beautiful day! After near-continuous rain all month, today is sunny and cool, bright blue sky with a soft breeze, truly a miracle for May in Ohio. My roses AND my peonies are both blooming--yellows, pinks, reds. My petunias, geraniums and violets are out, my baby strawberries are lifting their heavy heads...I'm so very lucky to be witness to this. Good weather and a simmering pot of green beans. When I think to complain, I must remember this. This is happiness! This is the good life.

Irie, Bri!

I'm glad that you're happy.

feelings. nothing more than feelings.

this quietude comes from within as much as without. as sight is half the seer and half the seen, so is contentment half the environment, and half the perceiver of the environ. wallow in joy as we've seen you wallow in misery, take this good, taste it, smell it, feel it. remember to remember it when it is needful.

or something

If you are in Ohio, then you are truly blessed. I'm from there, and miss it. :sniff:

Enjoy your day!

:) nice

I think LJ has been doing deep prajna paramita while he's waiting for the salesmen to close the deals.

I know it was weirdly beautiful. Yesterday I was trying to , you know, merge the man with the similie. Too deep. I just went to work instead.

Nice stuff lj. :heart-on:

Just as in the sky above winds of various kinds are blowing:
Coming from the east or west, blowing from the north or south,
Some carry dust and others not, cold are some and others hot,
Some are fierce and others mild — their blowing is so different.

So also in this body here, feelings of different kind arise:
The pleasant feelings and the painful and the neutral ones.

He's a silver tongued devil, for sure.;)

:devil:devil being the operative word.:evil2:

Is that borrowed Jim? Or your own thoughts? Either way...food for thought.

I am envious anyone peonies.

Yesterday was grand. After a warm thunderstorm last night the moisture evaporated in the warm spring sun. It felt like the earths sauna. The smell of warm earth, trees and the afternoon sun permerated the air. It was mellow and entrancing. I thought of you Brianna and hoped you were having some more of those beautiful spring days too.

:) thanks, sky! It is beautiful again here--Yipee!

I can't wait for Sunday.. should be mid 80's round here with a scattering of clouds.. perfect weather for kayaking in the local lake con mi novia!
