Listening to the world.
This year I chose the word Listen
as my focus word.

Sometimes I don't listen.
To those of you who have told me things that I have not heard
forgive me.
Look around at the trees,the plants,the birds,the shadows. Are they trying to tell you something?
Hear the murmur?

  5. Oh, yes, the world does speak to us all, I'm convinced. The trick, for me, is to get quiet and still enough to hear.

    Beautiful post, Gemma!

  6. I love the succulents. We all have to listen to nature when we are outside. We have to let ourselves become one with the beauty and the sounds of one's garden. Thanks Gemma. I love any type of cactus, especially nopalitos. :D Take care.

  7. We are all guilty of not listening at times. Some times it is hard to hear through the roar of everyday life. Time in the garden can cure that.

  11. You're so right. We sit on our deck before dinner and listen to the birds and then the night sounds as night comes on. So peaceful.

  12. It's hard to be still enough to listen ... even when everything else is quiet ... sometimes I can't turn off my mind!

    "Listen" will be my mantra for the weekend. Thank you!

  13. My keyword this week is "Watch". I have been keenly watching those new birds in my yard so as to find out their identity. It is very frustrating as each one seems to have variations.
