Stephenson Family Ties The Barn Burnt Down
And Now I See The Moon
God's joy moves from
unmarked box to unmarked box,
from cell to cell.
As rainwater, down into flowerbed.
Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish,
now a cliff covered in vines,
now a horse being saddled.
It hides within these,
till one day it cracks them open.
-Rumi

humans sometimes leave small treasures of creativity along a path.

the day before...Anna was treated to an encounter with an owl...yesterday we spotted this handsome fellow!

When I do a "catch up" on your blog, I always come away inspired lifted, and wiping away a tear or two, and yes, envious too. That ususally comes when I view your hike photos such as these. Beautiful and awe-inspiring...A TURTLE too?! Thanks to your family for buying you a new camera. I hope that you got the swing and pillows too. See you soon!
