The famous Blue Jay
Looking very confident
Musing, "This seed's mine."

A colorful blue, black, and white Blue jay stands on a wooden deck rail scattered with birdseed, holding a single seed in its beak. The background is a blur of gray and green.

Not words of duty
but words of belonging heal
the veteran within

Not “Thank you”
but “Welcome home”
Because some of us never truly did

Thulusdhoo, Maldives. Sunset Golden Hour at Sunset Beach. A grey heron, locally known as a Maakanaa, sits in silhouette against the very calm lagoon of simmering gold. Tourists, eager to experience another amazing golden hour, stand at the tip of the beach, silhouetted by the setting sun. A vivid gold sun sits low in a sky painted with tangerine and gold hues.

Yet another slip and fall

Mt. Hood (Wy’east) yesterday afternoon. Pretty in white. 🤍🩵
Mt. Hood. Dark green conifers, mountain top center stage covered in new snow, the peak illuminated, gray wide striped sky and clouds behind.

How the water cleanses us,
washing us like the river—

it does not ask what we’ve done,
nor what we hope to become,
but bears both shadow and reflection,
teaching the stone to yield.

Touching what is broken
until it learns to shimmer again—
Keeper of secrets
mirror of souls..
