Lovely, as always. I am working on our holiday card, also reaching into the outer world. "I contain multitudes" comes from Walt Whitman, I believe. xo

Thank you, Julie! I look forward to seeing your holiday card, always a delight. And yes, "I contain multitudes" is from "Leaves of Grass," Whitman's best-known poem.

Susan, this was a balm to all that aims to shred my soul. For me, it's halting on the way to the car, to absorb the Phoebe's sweet buzz. Thank you for reminding me where to seek healing.

Beth, I am so glad! And I can just imagine how healing it is as you stop to listen to the phoebe's voice. What a gift!

Thank you for your eloquence in voicing the pain, incredulity and challenge of dealing with human destruction and violence. I am grateful for your example of getting out before the dawn. It has inspired me to do similarly, gifting me with deep Gaia connections to life and beauty. The restorative time is a balm for which I am grateful. Many have appreciated the photos that have come from that magical sunrise time. Thank you.
