Something of the Marvelous

"Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished." 
- Lao Tzu

"Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself."
 - Annie Leibovitz 

"In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." 
 - Aristotle

"We have the world to live in on the condition that we will take good care of it. And to take good care of it, we have to know it. And to know it and to be willing to take care of it, we have to love it."     -Wendell Berry

tiny little speck in the Universe...

It's been a while since I've logged into blogger... but here I am! 

Everything is still beautiful on our tiny little speck in the universe.... So beautiful that I often forget to attend to this blog.  Life is constantly moving, every breath feels like a new opportunity.  A new experience. Each moment is sacred and magical... life is so strangely amazing.

Just the other day I watched one of the grasshoppers molt and change from a beautiful red and purple color to black. It looked as though it were pumping blood into it's wings, which began shriveled up and ended in proper form. 

I've watched these grasshoppers grow since they were tiny in the spring...

And I remember first noticing them when we moved here last year in July...

Oh,

Life.
