Windows, windows everywhere...

Take a moment to pause and notice all the windows where light shines through.

Nature photo of the day: window between branches.

the sky is scattered with white sometimes
when the view above is not the purest blue
most days it is cloudy as can be
however, today it is halfway in between
clean & messy
but i don't think anyone else noticed
the goings on in the skies above
because their gaze was fixed toward the ground
perhaps they could not perceive the sky
because of the branches swaying 
in the gusts of winter
there is a window
which allows me to watch the skies over head
between the pear tree
and the apple
and a couple of ashes
maybe a few boughs of a walnut
form the window as well
making it easy to 
catch a glimpse of the sky
with clouds rushing by
as a reminder, that above the clouds
the firmament is persistently blue
all you must do
is find a window in the trees
then observe the scene unfold 
from your own private porthole

Notice all the windows in your life. Not the ones on your house, or your laptop. Rather, the kind which allow you to see the sky above, or the future. We have been subject to many feelings of déjà vu these days, and not all feel comfortable.

Some say this is the calm before the storm. And this seems to be the case, which makes me think that we should slow down as much as possible now.

Taking time to enjoy the nanoscopic happenings that make us happy.

So look for a window today in between the trees, or between your trains of thought, and notice something which is as pretty as a picture, it doesn’t matter if it is only a fond memory, or the sky above. Sense the joy of the winter season!

At the moment, we are relishing the window between the trees, with some gingerbread cookies and hot tea. I encourage you to spend some time today (or this weekend when life naturally slows down) looking out through the space in between the branches, celebrating the noiselessness of a winter afternoon. Soon to be followed by the uproar the Holiday season brings…

As for the journal prompt of the day:

What is the best window to look out of? Is it a physical window, or a mental one, allowing you to relish in observing happenings from a different perspective?

For me, the best window to look through is a window in the branches. Giving me an opportunity to imagine the firmament, offering me a little break from the screen so I can enjoy the moment.

What beautiful things do you see through your window today?

With gratitude,
