Offerings Quiet Home retreat feeding ourselves empty calendar deep-hearted friends steady rain welcome backdrop despite the downpour birds busy at feeders Two hawks appear we pull out bird guides not red-tailed, red-shouldered— Sibley’s decides They screech and pose, one a bare apple branch the other atop a post even at rest their power presence shines Next meditation: physical objects arise in space in what does space arise? Events arise in time in what does time arise?
I love that you included the detail about pulling out the Sibley’s guide for the hawks, Didi. It makes the whole rainy afternoon feel so warm and real.
