Still Saturday

January 28, 2012 By Sandra Heska King

Be.

Still.

Know.

I Am.

God.

~Psalm 46:10

Taking a break from words on Saturdays.

Just to be still and know.

I’d love for you to join me. Just link to a photo in a comment below that caused to you breathe deeply or gasp in wonder. A slice of time when you saw Him. I’ll try to–I mean, I will–figure out Mr. Linky for next week. And maybe a graphic thingie.

    Many of your photos are God gifts to me, Sandra. And also Susan Etole’s. The message in a post of hers a couple weeks ago, along with its accompanying photos, hit home: http://bit.ly/wDt8Ic

      Susan has a beautiful way with the blending of words and photos. Love her place.

      And thanks, Carol. 🙂

    I think about all the time I’ve spent trying to get comfortable with the noise. When he’s pointed toward the quiet all the time.

    Joining you here with my Preparation Day for the week. (It has words, but not mine. Does that count? 😉

For most of us, knowledge of our world comes large For most of us, knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" ~ Rachel Carson in The Sense of Wonder

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faith Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. ~ Psalm 136:1
A tale of two iguanas... I did not see the iguana A tale of two iguanas... I did not see the iguana in the background until I downloaded the photos. That, I believe, is the one that got caught in one of the openings in the neighbor's chain link fence. We tried in several (safe) ways to dislodge it without luck and could think of no other option but to leave it. Somehow it apparently dislodged itself. We also believe this is the pair that was getting into another neighbor's garden. We haven't seen either one since the last cold snap, so we are wondering if they survived. 
🌱
Thinking some may have tumbled from their perches last night. Pretty sure it will be raining iguanas tonight since we are under a frost advisory. It's cold. And windy.

Whether you work in an office, a retail store, a restaurant, or at home... Whether you work on roads or on power lines, or on high buildings...Whether you collect trash or preach sermons, or care for your kiddos. Whether you do art, or weave words, or take photos of a common gallinule AKA moorhen AKA swamp chicken--it's all shot through with poetry.

So pay attention. Find a poem.

I've been in a long creative drought, so I started morning pages--again. This time I've got a bit of an accountability group through @refineretreat's Refinery--which I finally also joined this year. I'll turn 74 this month. I'm not ready to grow old while I age--though everything does seem to take longer while time goes by faster.

Tonight’s walk in the neighborhood. I’m still Tonight’s walk in the neighborhood. I’m still kinda amazed that out of all the places we could have ended up after moving from a place I said I’d never move from), here we are—planted right next to the northern Everglades. Six-plus years, and I still shake my head in wonder.
