View From My Window: Musings of an Observer of Nature

Observations of the awe and wonder of nature as viewed from my window; and reflections thereupon with respect to my life, both in enhancing its enjoyment and the lessons that are conveyed to me along my spiritual journey.

Though 62 years of age, I still feel that little girl inside and I indulge her more and more. I don't worry as I once did about "what people will think". I think more about "what I think". I like me and I don't mind admitting it. Yet, I am more humble than when young. I know that I don't know it all. I love life moment by moment. Though in the autumn of my years, I plan to play among fall's leaves rather than sit by the fire in fear of my coming winter. Carpe diem! I have learned, though late in life, some important principles by which to live my life. And in doing so, I experience more and more the joy and contentment life has to offer.

Empowered by Being

Views from My window

How can I describe the beauty of a sunrise and its effects upon me? Is it the physical beauty that so moves me or is it all the emotions that the rise of the sun elicits? I am overwhelmed by its power. What begins as a light spot on the horizon marking the end of dawn and the beginning of a new day suddenly explodes into this overwhelming ball of light and warmth transforming everything. What were mere outlines of form in the shadows suddenly become real substances with color, shape and depth.

I suppose the rise of the sun and its effect upon nature is analogous to the same arising of “light” within myself. What was mere possibility becomes actuality. I transform from sleep in the dark of night into awareness of new beginnings and possibilities. I am once again empowered by Being.
