Simplicity

Oh, for the stillness of the heron! As I watched, I became quieter inside.

Hi Juliet .. now your book is here and you've had a great day in Auckland promoting it .. I'm not surprised you need some simplicity ... enjoy the little one ..
Love the shells and the colours - Hilary
What wonderful arrangements and patterns in the sea shells, Juliet, and how utterly relaxing it must be to hold them, feel them, arrange them. What a peaceful post.
Such a lovely, serene moment after the excitement of your new book!
The moments of simplicity are the best moments! Loved to read it!
* Hilary, yes, after all the excitement, this day was a treat.
* Penny, I couldn't believe how many different colours were in the shells. Maybe the mud flats create different shades.
* Vicki, the serenity was exactly what I needed.
* Diana, the simplicity was delicious.
Thank you Hilary, Penny, Vicki and Diana, much appreciated.
I've been incredibly busy too and am now enjoying a sojourn at the beach. What beautiful shells - we don't have shells like that on the beaches in Sydney xx
* Charlie, the shells are really special and it's quite surprising to find them on an inner harbour beach. Hope you are enjoying your beach holiday.
This is a beautiful post Juliet! Finding the way to access the relevant dose of simplicity and play one needs seems a fine art at times!! but it's lovely you have a companion to help with that process.
Here my most frequent 'aide' is the Karearea (NZ falcon) - whenever I am lucky enough to spot one flying in our skies I pause and breathe the wonder of that moment: Life is so much *more* than any of the busy-ness I've got engrossed in! And the Karearea is a potent reminder.
* Ruth, how special to have the karearea to watch and marvel at. Instant expansion and stillness, I imagine!
Thank you for visiting, and for your comment.
