Open

View from our window Sunday morning at one of our favorite “retreats” – Conneaut Lake, PA June 2019

Open.

Open your eyes
to the beauty of a new day.

Open your ears
to the music of nature.

Open your mind
to others’ ideas and beliefs.

Open your hands
to offer support and kindness.

Open your heart
to love and be loved.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

When I look into your eyes

Ceilng Light, Omni William Penn, Pittsburgh, PA

When I look into your eyes,
I see your heart…

and that is where
the beauty is.

It’s deep in your soul.
It’s past the superficial.

When I look into your eyes
nothing else matters.

I wonder what you see
when you look into mine.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

The Fragility of Life

bird silhouette on window

Oh beautiful bird
please be careful.
The reflection you see is deceiving.
The imprint you leave so haunting.

This photo is of a window in our breakfast nook where a bird recently hit, but survived (as far as we know).

I often look at it – –  and see
what looks like
angel wings…
or a spirit…
a symbol of flight…
a symbol of freedom….
a reminder of
the fragility of life.

Hugs,
Jodi
