The Cormorants at Tramp Harbor, Vashon Island
by Photographer Ray Pfortner
A THOUGHT AND MEDITATION
The wellspring of praise is wonderment.
In wondering we forget ourselves – caught in the awe of what we have just discovered.

“What are we that you should care for us?” –Psalm 8:5
…Thank you Christopher for this inspiring postcard…
HAIKU
Such a precious gift
This unrepeatable day
Embrace the ordinary
…there is always something ‘extra’ in ordinary…

HAIKU
Like ghostly shipwrecks
Unafraid of mighty waves
Stands lighthouse of mercy

“God, I trust in You for everything and everyone in my life.” –yours truly
What a superb Haiku for these very cold and dreary winter days, worth many more glances here. Thank you, Connetta.
Nature paints clouds low
Heavy with snow and rain (slush)
Jake serves winter stew..

HAIKU
Dark sky beams golden
Winter moment of the heart
Purple bloom gives hope
The Two Fridas by Frida Kahlo
This painting depicts how Frida Kahlo saw her two personalities: on the right, a happily married woman and on the left, a divorced woman whose heart is bleeding down her dress.
HAIKU
She chose to be wife
yet marriage conflicted with
her freedom for art
Frida Kahlo Flowers
I choose this self portrait from Frida Kahlo because it is a departure from her other works which reflect her personal deep chasm between happiness and despair.
HAIKU
Life is beautiful
when you first love yourself, then
others may be loved
“I paint self portraits because I am so often alone…because I am the subject I know best.”
–Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)
