Silent Sunday Morning

 

 

 

Silent Sunday Morning

Silent Sunday Morning

Silent Sunday

 

 

Winter light on the birches

 

Icicles melting fast

 

 

Pair of ducks out marching

 

 

And pine boughs sweeping snow.

 

 Silent Sunday.

First February Sunday

 

 

First February Sunday

 

 

And it has snowed. 

The world is a white wonder,

clean and fresh and new.

Shediac River NB

We saw Common Mergansers and Bald Eagles at the Shediac River last Sunday. 

As we sat watching pairs of Common Mergansers swimming and diving on the river, we noticed an immature Bald Eagle land in a tree near the water’s edge.

The immature Bald Eagle sat and watched the ducks, and watched us watching the ducks.   Shortly after it landed, a mature Bald Eagle flew overhead, perhaps the parent.

The mature bird captivated us with an aerial display, swooping and diving and floating…the acrobatics on air looked effortless.

The eagles stayed for 15 minutes, then disappeared as quietly as they had arrived.   The ducks kept up their activities undisturbed.  

We continued watching, with nothing more exciting to view than ice melting...the last of it, we hope.

It was a peaceful Sunday afternoon at the river, breathing Spring.

Sunday Prayer

This is from: Prayers for a Thousand Years, edited by Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon.  This prayer is written by Dawna Markova, author and editor from Utah.

May I, may you, may we
not die unlived lives.
May none of us live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
May we choose to inhabit our days,
to allow our living to open us,
to make us less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen our hearts
until they become wings,
torches, promises.
May each of us choose to risk our significance;
to live so that which comes to us as seed
goes to the next as blossom
and that which comes to us as blossom,
goes on as fruit.
