Last Evening's Moon, Sky, Trees and River

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. 

Anton Chekhov

Some photos taken last evening when I glimpsed the nearly Full Moon outside the cottage window. The skies were really this blue.

 I am hoping to catch sight of the Full Moon tonight but fear it may be too cloudy.

River

How could drops of water know themselves to be a river?

Yet the river flows on.

Around Myddfai

Every time I take my camera out on a jaunt, I (luckily) always meet a cat, a dog and a horse. It is to be expected now.

My last jaunt was no exception.

Quiet is peace. Tranquillity. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it. - Amir

Resting Place

The cemetery is an open space among the ruins, covered in winter with violets and daisies. It might make one in love with death, to think that one should be buried in so sweet a place.

More from Myddfai

Often a star was waiting for you to notice it. A wave rolled toward you out of the distant path, or as you walked under an open window, a violin yielded itself to your hearing. All this was mission.

Tranquillity

This was taken last weekend in St Michael's Church in Mydffai, Carmarthenshire.

It has to be the most peaceful church I have visited.

I may post more pics of it soon.

I like the silent church before the service begins; better than any preaching.

Talley Abbey

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need of complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Happy New Year

 

Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
