I didn’t think my heart could burst with love be

I didn’t think my heart could burst with love beyond what I get from the blue jays...until this moment yesterday and again today with two of these beauties joining the family. Their energy and personalities are so different. They sing softly and are still a bit timid and project a soft sense of love. Meanwhile the blue jay started screaming at me the minute my feet hit the floor this morning. A bit insistent, but also...HOW DID THEY KNOW?!??

I do love blue and apparently it’s loving me back these days. Grateful and inspired by these amazing beings.

Friends, I woke up today with “2020 mood” in F

Friends, I woke up today with “2020 mood” in FULL effect! Pull the covers over my head, never coming out, never talking to another human ever again, never...(insert all the things that fill my life). But, I finally got up. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and put on a cozy sweater and my comfy @bukibrand pants. Then I sat myself in front of my laptop and joined my @dayaalu community in music, mantra and magic...definitely magic...

Familiar faces, familiar words, familiar feelings began to emerge before and within me as we joined in song. And then...the birds. The blue jays arrived first, rustling feet on the patio pulling me from internal reflection. Then the scrub jay joined and got a little more brave today. Coming out of the tree and closer and closer to the dish of treats. Those familiar feelings burst through my heart...love and joy.

That’s what they bring me, the jays. In return I give them peanuts. Seems a little off balance but hopefully they get nourishment infused with my joy and love and feel it back.

Like the scrub, some days we have to find our courage and come out from under the covers or the protection of the tree and let others nourish us, love us and share their joy.

Thank you jay friends. Thank you community. Today you’ve got me. Tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day...when you need it...I’ve got you.

We are not alone. Take care of your community. Take care of your planet. Take care of you.

With joy & love,
Melissa Anne

Let the beauty you love be what you do. ~Rumi Thi

Let the beauty you love be what you do. ~Rumi

This quote landed in my heart this weekend while listening to a favorite teacher, @joanhalifax. It spoke so deeply to my love of nature, of beauty, of the moments of awe that make me feel alive and connected to my soul. My photography is about capturing those moments and sharing them with others, with the hope that they too will feel the connection of beauty and experience a moment of joy and peace in the soul. My home and fashion accessories take art off the walls to bring beauty in the home and beyond.

Let the beauty you love be what you do. 💚

Blue Storm, featured, was taken at Rattlesnake Lake at sunset. When the sun disappears behind the horizon but its light still illuminates the deep blue of the sky, peace settles. The moon begins to take over from the sun. The dark begins to take over from the light. The stillness of the lake a mirror, so above...below. Those moments, in the middle of change, light fleeting, darkness falling being present with a sense of equanimity, the middle ground.

THE TREES

We now turn our thoughts to the Trees. The Earth has many families of Trees who have their own instructions and uses. Some provide us with shelter and shade, others with fruit, beauty and other useful things. Many people of the world use a Tree as a symbol of peace and strength. With one mind, we send our greetings and our thanks to the Tree life.
NOW OUR MINDS ARE ONE

THE BIRDS

We put our minds together as one and thank all the Birds who move and fly about over our heads. The Creator gave them beautiful songs. Each day they remind us to enjoy and appreciate life. The Eagle was chosen to be their leader. To all the Birds — from the smallest to the largest — we send our joyful greetings and our thanks.

NOW OUR MINDS ARE ONE

THE WATERS

We give thanks to all the waters of the world for quenching our thirst and providing us with strength. Water is life. We know its power in many forms — waterfalls and rain, mists and streams, rivers and oceans. With one mind, we send our greetings and our thanks to the spirit of Water.
NOW OUR MINDS ARE ONE

THE FISH

We turn our minds to the all the Fish life in the water. They were instructed to cleanse and purify the water. They also give themselves to us as food. We are grateful that we can still find pure water. So, we turn now to the Fish and send our greetings and our thanks.

THE EARTH MOTHER

We are all thankful to our Mother, the Earth, for she gives us all that we need for life. She supports our feet as we walk about upon her. It gives us joy that she continues to care for us as she has from the beginning of time. To our mother, we send our greetings and our thanks.

NOW OUR MINDS ARE ONE

When one recites the Thanksgiving Address the Natural World is thanked, and in thanking each life-sustaining force, one becomes spiritually tied to each of the forces of the Natural and Spiritual World. The Thanksgiving Address teaches mutual respect, conservation, love, generosity, and the responsibility to understand that what is done to one part of the Web of Life, we do to ourselves.
