Early morning
holds surprises for those who are awake. I often wake up about four thirty. I
think it has something to do with the birds and the beginning light at this
time of year. Got to love the fifty-fourth parallel! In this case I rolled over
and went back to sleep. I jumped out of bed a couple of hours later thinking it
was much later and decided to get dressed. We were on retreat. Lac St. Anne is
surrounded by small vacationing communities and retreat houses. It has been a
center for healing and spiritual renewal for many centuries, long before
Europeans set foot here. We had been invited to share the space with five
others as we explored our relationship with God and the organization with whom
we are involved. I glanced out the window. Magnificent! I grabbed my camera and
began to snap some memories. I had not noticed the buck right away. He raised
his head and the light caught his antlers. Morning light, peace, and choruses
of bird songs. We have a beautiful world. I am so fortunate to live in a part
of the world where I do not have to be concerned about from whence comes my
next meal or the safety of my surroundings. I can relax, renew and recentre. My
studio is calling me. Patience is in order. I am sitting with the “Naked Show”
today. I’ll tell you all about it next week.
