Baby Gator

of

Lake Tarpon

Sure is good to see the sun

after the Thunder Beings

and

cleansing rains of last evening!

Just a thought:

Sometimes even the most powerful of words

seem lost in the pictures and

actions of others don't they?

I think of some of the great photos I've been able to capture and enjoy sharing here

and

of the sights AND people watching that I so enjoy...

AND

it reminds me that even as much as I love words

their power

and intention behind them

often

it is so true

"a picture is worth a thousand words"

and

I can't help but be reminded

that sometimes

our daily movements

are misinterpreted by others

as we move into our days

depending on what we have on our minds

at the time.

Those movements

can be seen as

"flighty", "angry", "giddy", sassy"

or just plain out

"silly"

but oh for the love of words

even if at times they may

wound

they may be found to be

powerful and sharp like a knife

or harsh

they also can carry profound healing

and messages of love and wonderment

just a photograph

that takes your breath away

or

makes you think

"oh my"

like that baby

gator,

just knowing

if there is a baby gator

just laying there

in the canal's edge

there must be a big ole Mama Gator

somewhere nearby!

OH MY GOODNESS!

"Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning." Maya Angelou

So then,beauty

is all around us

whether the swimming ones, the winged ones

the four leggeds

and

two leggeds

and

if we approach it and all in the circle with

great respect, tenderness and

admiration

we can all just get along real fine!

The music is there for you

but

you must find your own steps

for the dance

and be willing

to risk the steps involved

and

with that said

this day

enough said!

Enjoy this day,

embrace it

dance on friends

and notice

that words are powerful

as are actions

as

are the photos of your minds' eye

Enjoy!  Something to chew on today!

After months and months of planning... it's time to board that big plane and head back to the great state of OKLAHOMA! I am honored to be speaking to the Pittsburg Co. Child Abuse Task Force and hundreds of Professionals that put in some hard work with those that need them most in McAlester Oklahoma! McAlester is in Choctaw Nation and I am honored. Yakoke! Our children have some strong advocates there, who are seeing and doing remarkable work.  Not everyone can do what they are doing.... I hope to remind them of that. WE MUST STOP ABUSE!

*thanks for the continued vibes, prayers and thoughts... I'm upright, and oh boy does that feel better, still improving!*  Take best care of YOU out there!

Walk In Beauty,
