Meditation Interrupted


Walking with the sunrise
is a rhythmic meditation
breathing in and breathing out
allowing the mind to wander
and alight on whatever it fancies
and that's often stitching related


Walking rhythmically behind
two rusty bushy tails
that have their own rhythm
waving along behind rusty noses 
that are sniffing and assimilating the critter gossip of the day


and then one critter dared to cross the path
right under those rusty noses
Lucky for her an oak tree was available
She climbed as high as she could
then played like a statue
Perhaps she thought she had fooled us into thinking she was a branch.

  1. What a fantastic view, what a beautiful light. I would feel meditative as well.

  3. She looks like a branch - or perhaps the brow of a ship passing by! What a beautiful walk you and the RP's have!

  5. I love racoons. And I wish I was someone who could get up and walk with the sunrise! Guess I would need dogs for that.... though I'm not sure even THAT would work!

  6. There's a distinct smirk on that critter's face - obviously pleased with the escape!

  7. Below her ear I see an eye...the left one on 1/2 a face!
