The red squirrel rushes in, takes what he needs then runs along his highway in the trees, and the blue jay stops by to let the chickadees know he's boss. All is well in the world Need to take your mind off things? Get your gear on and spend a few minutes outside. Slow your pace, maybe even sit. Listen, watch, breathe. Have a good day everyone. Take good care. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #sitspot

11/29/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the Quarry The snow is coming...
I came across this poem this weekend, I thought it was so beautiful and a wonderful reminder to pause, listen, notice and feel. I hope you like it too. May you Grow Still Enough May you grow still enough to hear the small noises earth makes in preparing for the long sleep of winter, so that you yourself may grow calm and grounded deep within. May you grow still enough to hear the trickling of water seeping into the ground, so that your soul may be softened and healed, and guided in its flow. May you grow still enough to hear the splintering of starlight in the winter sky and the roar at earth's fiery core. May you grow still enough to hear the stir of a single snowflake in the air, so that your inner silence may turn into hushed expectation. ~ Brother David Steindl-Rast Monday Metta May you be happy May you be healthy May you be free from fear May you find peace in stillness Have a good day everyone. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #sitspot #winter #lovingkindness See less 11/27/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the QuarryI have been waiting for this day...the snow is light falling.
I love Mary Oliver's perspective here. Snow was falling, so much like stars filling the dark trees that one could easily imagine its reason for being was nothing more than prettiness. ~ Mary Oliver Have a good day everyone. Let joy rip today. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #sitspot #snow 11/25/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the QuarryA cool, clear morning out here. Working together... Yesterday I noticed this little red spruce growing at the base of this cedar The elder providing nourishment Protection Support Showing respect They communicate...through the wood wide web Better than we do... Notice in the third photo, the roots of the birch intertwined with the cedar...they make it work. In harmony. "The trees and plants show respect for each other by the way they live in harmony. This also applies to the animal kingdom." ~Masaru Emoto Have a good day everyone. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #sitspot #liveinharmony #Respect 11/17/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the Quarry Big shift in the temperature this morning, the ground is crunchy...wintery. The cold brings an aliveness, an energy that gets your blood flowing.
A serious thing... "It is a serious thing just to be alive on this fresh morning in this broken world." ~Mary Oliver Have a good day everyone Much love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot 11/16/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the Quarry The sun is shining on the tops of the cedars on the ridge, its going to be a beautiful day.
These cedars... Symbols of strength and resilience - the way they grow and thrive amongst the rocks, yet soft, whimsical and full of personality. I feel their protection. I am excited imagining what they will look like when they are full of snow. I can't wait to see it. What are you excited about today? Have a good day everyone. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot 11/15/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the Quarry Hello Sending a little Loving Kindness your way, today...send it along.
Sit quietly and comfortably...take 4 long slow breaths (try breathing through your nose)...feel your body relax. Slowly repeat these phases, starting with you first ...May I. Then bring another person to mind, someone close to you, someone you love or someone you find difficult...May you. Then repeat these phases to everyone...May all beings. Monday Metta May you be hopeful May you peaceful May you be content May you feel loved Have a good day everyone. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot 11/13/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the QuarryThe quiet and the little birds - all I need on this sunny morning.
The world feels heavy, a weight on my heart I've never felt before...when I'm out here the weight lifts - my heart relieved. In this moment I felt joy. "Don't worry.... about a thing Cause every little thing is gonna be alright" ~ Bob Marley Have a good day everyone. I hope you are able to take some time to experience nature today...slow down, stop, breathe, listen, watch...feel the calming comfort that spending time in nature brings. A necessary practice for these times Much love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot 11/12/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the Quarry These beautiful words by Mary Oliver grabbed ahold of me this morning...
Mysteries, yes “Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads.” ~Mary Oliver Have a good day everyone. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot 11/11/2021 0 Comments Coffee in the QuarryA day of reflection... We must never forget what sacrifices have been made for our freedom. I will be forever grateful. I will remember them Have a good day everyone. Much love #selfcare #thequarry #outsidecafe #sitspot |
