… reading in bed, candles, diving into a new project, learning something new, crisp crunchy leaves underfoot, hearing my daughter laugh, starting a new book, finishing a book, organizing, floating on my back in the pool and staring at the sky, writing, craft supplies, photography, poetry, a good massage, knowing smiles, singing along to the radio, getting things done, comfy bedding, hot chocolate, paying attention to the details, libraries and bookstores, campfires, astronomy, finding beauty in the everyday, impromptu road trips, quiet, journaling, learning about myself, waking up and reading in bed (preferably with coffee), home, interesting flowers, affection, Sleepytime tea, capturing a moment in time with my camera, true laughter, soft rain.

Such a delightful post, Naomi. You have excellent taste in Mary Oliver ☺. Fabulous artwork, my friend. Thanks so much form linking up with the POTMC. J x
Thank YOU, Jane. I am enjoying meeting some Aussies! (I hope that’s not an offensive word!)
Beautiful Naomi! Love the colors and the words are so inspirational. Thank you 🙂
Oh thank you, thank you, Stacie!
Such beautiful colours which compliment the words. I can really resonate with them. Thank you for your inspiration.
I’m glad you came by to visit Pammie. 🙂
Love you art piece and am a big fan of Mary Oliver. Well done!
Thanks, Carol!
So much create energy is seeping from your inner being.
I love what you have been creating.
Loved your email. We definitely need some phone time.
XOXO
A wonderful creation Naomi!
Oh thank you, Sarah!
This is absolutely beautiful…I love it, and I also love Mary Oliver’s poetry. Thank you for sharing!
And thank you, as always, for reading!
I feel the soaring of the branches reaching for the light. Beautifully done! Reading the poetry made me tear up. I lost my husband of 26 years last month and I needed lifting up, and to remind myself to reach toward the light and shine. Thank you!
I am so glad this spoke to you and could help in some way. You must be one of the reasons I felt compelled to make it and to share it. I hope for lots of lifts up in your near future.
I love Mary Oliver too! This is one of my favorites (not sure of the book source or I’d share…does anyone know?) “I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings.”
Oh yes… Starlings in Winter. Beautiful aspirational words.
