I rescued this dragonfly while kayaking this morning, I scooped her out of the water and she stayed on my hand while she dried out .. eventually she flew away... I named her Freedom.

So nice that the bee has freedom to pick her sweetest things...

Freedom Crossing Monument is located on the bank of the Niagara River in Lewiston, New York, and honors the courage of fugitive slaves who sought a new life of freedom in Canada, and to the local volunteers who protected and helped them on their journey across the Niagara River. It was dedicated on October 14, 2009.

Today is American Independence Day, aka July 4th, 4th of July. I will not be celebrating it in a traditional way with parades, picnics, or family get-togethers, but I did wake up this morning thinking of my country & what it means to me. I searched my home for a symbolic star & was interested to find only one--the simple star in the wooden nativity scene that I display year-round. For me, my love of country & of God are intertwined & I am most thankful for both. Being a librarian, I couldn't resist doing a little research on star symbolism. Not surprisingly, I found a plethora of information. What caught my imagination was a quote from the nineteenth century minister, Henry Ward Beecher (brother of Harriet Beecher Stow, who wrote "Uncle Tom's Cabin"). He said, of the American flag,

"A thoughtful mind when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself. And whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag, the government, the principles, the truths, the history that belongs to the nation that sets it forth. The American flag has been a symbol of Liberty and men rejoiced in it.

The stars upon it were like the bright morning stars of God, and the stripes upon it were beams of morning light. As at early dawn the stars shine forth even while it grows light, and then as the sun advances that light breaks into banks and streaming lines of color, the glowing red and intense white striving together, and ribbing the horizon with bars effulgent, so, on the American flag, stars and beams of many-colored light shine out together ...."

May we all celebrate the freedoms & the gifts in our every-day lives. May we nurture them in our various ways, day by day.

A couple of friends from highschool invited me to go take some shots of the Atlanta skyline with them tonight. This is overlooking Freedom Parkway.

You might infer from the open gates or the image title that this corridor is a way out of the prison.

But no, it only leads to the exercise yard.

freedom is a song-less bird whose wings beat the rhythm of my longed for younger days.

but it is the choice to be tethered to this too, the here and now, by my

heart's pining to create a nest of a home for them...those whom i

practice releasing, daily, out into the world of charm and light.

freedom is what they'll feel when they rise up, and take flight.

~ this blog is so full of soul...

and i am incredibly honored to have been invited to lift up my voice, in image and words, in a song of freedom and motherhood this week.
