Little Shell

Today
A Little Shell man
Told me
He listens to the land
The animals
The sky
The wind
The waters
To speak to him
An eagle flies by
And he listens
What story is she telling
What message is she sending him
This
Awakens a part of me
That felt asleep
Suddenly
My world is not so small
Everywhere
The spirit communicates
To me
To us
To give us wisdom
Love
Messages of peace
There is connectedness
In everything

I see the world through stories and insights. I have always been a sensitive soul, especially towards nature, people, art, and faith. I spend a lot of time reflecting and finding treasures wherever I can. The two values I live by are beauty and celebration. I hope my blog communicates those two things, seeing beauty where beauty is not often seen and celebrating every aspect of life, the hard and the easy.
