Thank you to the wren, the berries and the air.

Understated wonder. Nature amazes and inspires me always. For many of us this is so. A kindred spirit said it well, in this quote by Annie Dillard. She was writing of the qualities of what I call the gift of Life on Earth.

 "The creation is not a study, a roughed-in sketch; it is supremely, meticulously created....Even on the perfectly ordinary and clearly visible level, creation carries on with an intricacy unfathomable and apparently uncalled for."
~ Annie Dillard

"...apparently uncalled for."  That quality of unasked for brilliance- beauty- whispers to me of Love.

Yes,
Love is here.
