Another shot from my walk on the Cahore Point Trail. Lovely golden beach and a stairs leading up to the trail. A couple wisely taking a rest and enjoying the waves before tackling the climb.
Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

Get it? Rest your laurels? As in, sit down? But "laurels," you know? Flower? Because it's a garden? Because it's a double entendre?
Times like this, I have to assume I only amuse myself.
Only a few hours to go and we have a long weekend here in the UK. After a hectic month I've never been so excited about having 3 days off! Monday is known as the 'late summer bank holiday' and it typically involves lots of rain, wind, and turning on the central heating....but maybe we'll be lucky this year!
Not much to say about the photo...just a dandelion on the ground in the garden....simplicity.
Enjoy the weekend whatever you're doing :)
As you know, Rose of Sharon's can grow quite large and tall. They tower above all the rest of the flowers in the yard and it's the same in this case. Some of our Rose of Sharon's even tower over me and I'm 6'3, which makes it difficult for pruning, but that's what ladders are for...right ?
El solsticio de invierno
Esta mañana (21 de Diciembre) mi calle estaba llena de gente para disfrutar de un fenómeno que lleva produciéndose más de 2000 años. En el solsticio de invierno el sol al salir ilumina de lleno la calle.
Zaragoza se trazó siguiendo los cánones romanos a partir de dos grandes vías urbanas: el “Cardo Máximo” de norte a sur, (aproximadamente la actual calle Don Jaime I) y el “Decumano Máximo” de este a oeste (C/ Mayor hasta C/ Manifestación). El resto de las calles se trazaban paralelas a éstas creando una estructura ortogonal, de red o cuadrícula, que formaban manzanas que se irían llenando a lo largo de los años con distintos edificios y casas de las familias más pudientes.

”Árboles desnudos
corren una carrera
por el rectángulo de la plaza.
En sus epilépticos esqueletos
de volcadas sombrillas
se asientan,
en bandada compacta,
los amarillos
focos luminosos.
Bancos inhospitalarios,
húmedos
expulsan de su borde
a los emigrantes soñolientos.
Oyendo fáciles arengas ciudadanas,
un prócer,
inmóvil sobre su columna
se hiela en su bronce”
Plaza en invierno - Alfonsina Storni
True silence is the rest of the mind; it is to the spirit what sleep is to the body ...... nourishment and refreshment ~ William Penn
Squirrel resting...he had no desire to come down...but later he did after a brief wink. ;-)
Thanks for the faves.
These big black-browed albatrosses are know as long-distance fliers, soaring effortlessly over the ocean in the search of food. But when they are sitting on a nest, as this one is, they will routinely tuck their bills into their back feathers and rest for a while.
Parents will take turns on the nest while the other heads out to feed and gather food for the chick (if the egg has hatched).
