Navigating Through the Shadows

Posted on July 6, 2022August 3, 2022 by twomomsadmin

Good morning from… by the brook♡

Do you remember the Mama and newly born fawn I posted just about a week ago? Here she/he is ♡. I have seen Mama roaming about often without her sweet baby, and finally baby has emerged, but without Mama. I am not too familiar with the behavior of deer; I hope that Mama is close by, as this little one is still so little♡

It’s so difficult to not project our human emotions onto nature and I can’t help to wonder if she feels lost, scared or lonely without her Mama by her side. Does the unpredictable world around her create a feeling of unsafety within her. What happens when storms blow in and lightning flashes; when the waters begin to rise? Or when a predator is not far behind? Is she prepared to face such dangers… at such a young age if she’s left all alone? How will she learn to navigate such chaotic occurrences without a steady, strong roll model by her side?

Alas, I must not cast my own shadows onto such innocence and that which can not be held to human emotional constraints ♡ though the walk inward has been insightful

My thoughts will be with this little one has she navigates through this beautiful, mysterious world that is filled with many opportunities. Both filled with excitement and danger.

Sending my love to you all,

Maureen~

The Rising Truth

Posted on June 17, 2022August 3, 2022 by twomomsadmin

Every morning I open the curtains to watch the sun slowly make its appearance, as it peaks through the branches of the very tall trees that line the bank of the brook. Its beams give an iridescent glow to everything in its path, nothing but beauty abounds♡ Some mornings I open the curtains and there is no warm iridescent glow, just shades of gray, shadows everywhere I look. My common sense tells me that the sun has indeed risen, but all I can see is the grayness. On those days I long… almost in anguish to be doused in iridescent beams. But I have noticed if I just breath a little deeper and look straight into the dark shadows, shards of light begin to appear. For it’s deep within the dark dreary gray shadows that you will find the truth. A truth that will rise within you, gifting you your very own eternal iridescent glow morning, noon, and night.

Sending my love,

Maureen

Sweet Morning Surprises by the brook

Posted on July 26, 2020July 12, 2022 by twomomsadmin

This morning I watched this sweet fawn walk past my sliding glass doors down into the brook. She/he meandered through the water eating the grasses and leaves with mama nowhere in sight. I was relieved a little later when I saw them once again walking side by side. Such a sweet face.

Mama Duck and her Ducklings

What a wonderful surprise to see Mama Duck and her tiny babies for breakfast!

By the Brook ~ I find Inspiration …. The Great Blue Heron

Posted on May 15, 2020July 12, 2022 by twomomsadmin

Sitting by the open window, eyes closed as the cool morning breeze brushed past me, I heard a gentle splash in the brook.

I opened my eyes to see this magnificent site… The Great Blue Heron.

A message of self-determination and self-reliance- progress and evolution, ability to maneuver through life, and co-create your own circumstances.

Thank you once again to my boyfriend for his gentle support, my parents for their patience, and a realtor that keeps her heart at the forefront of all she does. I am eternally grateful, for Rebekah and I are just where we should be.
