For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
Stillness
From the lake the mist is rising,
It’s autumn, so not surprising.
The water’s like a mirror now,
The morning’s beauty gives a wow!
A little duck swims slowly by,
She looks my way and quacks a ‘hi’.
Such tiny ripples does she make,
Now spreading out across the lake.
Golden leaves glowing in the sun,
Wondrous beauty for everyone.
Water reflects this awesome scene,
Amazing splendor, I do mean.
Viewing all this gives such a thrill,
While sitting here, so calm, so still.

Yes , by you being you , you add val-ue …
That is true …
The ship heading forward joyfully with the crew , …
The dreams are now here with nothing to pursue , ( you already have them energetically ) …
Faith is so strong and
the ocean is blue …
Expanding together, awareness grew ,
Yes , Eckhart Tolle , we have got a new earth too ,
To a new conscious level , our minds flew ,
Jumping higher in degrees like a Kangaroo, …
Question starts with a Q,
Answers are here to view ,
In your awareness to review ,
Enlightened members are not only a few ,
But growing in numbers for real and the timing is ready and due ,

Love the pic of the lake so still ! It would be fun to sit on the rocks with hot coffee and cinnamon buns…viewing all the beauty made by Almighty God !

Actually it was part of the river, before the high water came. Yes, a perfect spot for coffee and today would be so nice with the sun shining. Don’t think I could make it though. The first part of the path is the hardest right now because of all the water from the rain.🚶♂️😬
