Doves

When angels visit us, we do not hear the rustle of wings, nor feel the feathery touch of the breast of a dove; but we know their presence by the love they create in our hearts.
Mary Baker Eddy

April Moons

My Last Night's Moon pictures below but.......

Tonight is special:

The April 15th, 2014 Full Moon is also a total lunar eclipse, hence the name “Blood Red Moon”. In North and South America and a few other places in the Pacific region this eclipse will last just over an hour and a half. Which will make for an amazing star gazing experience.

The Blood Moon has always been a symbol of great change or big events coming in the near future. With this being a full total lunar eclipse the power behind the significance of this moon is of course astronomical.

This is a time when the Earth, Sun, and Moon will align and when that happens it is believed that a gateway to the stars, to heaven, is opened and we are then able to speak with those not only in the spirit world but other dimensions.

This lunar eclipse can be viewed with your telescope and even the naked eye. It is not like having a solar eclipse of the sun.

April Evening

And walk among long dappled grass

 and pluck till time and times are done, 

the silver apples of the moon,

 the golden apples of the sun.

Mist

God is here, right now, at our side. We can see him in this mist, in the ground we're walking on, even in my shoes. His angels keep watch while we sleep and help us in our work. In order to find God, you have only to look around.

Female Chaffinch

The reason birds can fly and we can't is simply because they have perfect faith, for to have faith is to have wings. 

 J.M. Barrie, The Little White Bird

Pan, who and what art thou?" he cried huskily.

I'm youth, I'm joy," Peter answered at a venture, "I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg"

 J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

These were taken through my kitchen window so are a wee bit fuzzy.  The colourful male chaffinches are constant visitors but the females are rarely seen, I'm not sure why,

Laugharne

I think, that if I touched the earth,

It would crumble;

it is so sad and beautiful,

so tremulously like a dream.

Coastal Trees

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,

We fell them down and turn them into paper,

That we may record our emptiness.

Half Moon

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth

Lone Sheep on a Mountain-Top

The one who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.

The one who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

Albert Einstein

Bone Structure

I do an awful lot of thinking and dreaming about things in the past and the future - the timelessness of the rocks and the hills - all the people who have existed there. I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show.

Andrew Wyeth

Angel

He spake well who said that graves are the footprints of angels.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The Wash Pool, Abergwesyn

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans; in one aspect of You are found all the aspects of existence.

Kahlil Gibran

 Sometimes if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
