Merry Summer Wonderment

I found about 6 or 7 feathers on my walkabout this morning. The spirits walking beside me on my path? It was special to see, and hard not to think it a coincidence.

Have some wonderment!

Feathers!

I’ll seek some wonderment today, and today I did not bring my camera. But that’s okay, I do think I try much harder to find picture worthy pieces than actually enjoying the world around me.

I was enjoying the birds bathing in the creek. I walked the little edge of the creek for rocks to skip, and slowed my roll a bit.

Weirdo birdo bathing in the creek

I couldn’t help but feel better. I have been soaking in all the terrible news and not exactly sure what to do. It’s hard not to feel helpless right now, and to also feel like I’m from another planet! That this is not earth or earth has been taken over by evil humanoids…probably the later.

But still how?? How is all this happening??

Next Mush episode: Earth taken over my Evil Humanoids

Sounds like an Onion article… but the world is stranger than fiction actually!!

Which reminds me of an album by Bad Religion. And I don’t know, punk music sounds like an equally viable way to let out the frustration I feel about the world right now, but also merry walkabouts with birds and feathers too. I may blast the music later. Roll down the windows of my car this evening and let the whole neighborhood hear” f**k Armageddon this is hell! ” Which actually isn’t on that album but does feel like we’re living in hell times. Which then reminds me of a song by Dead Kennedy’s “Hellnation” so maybe I’ll just add that song too. All the protest songs I’ve been listening to all month!

Ugh, calming merry wonderment has turned into rage against the world! GGGGGRRRRR

We must seek wonderment though, must seek wonderment though ….must seek…ugh

Hawk Feather and Wandering Trails

Hawk Feather study

Wandering the trails around here never seem to bore me. Each time I visit the trails I encounter something new, a new creature or something interesting on my path. A new rock, which I do put back! (Because the boys used to collect too many rocks! And the long story about my camera bag.. I collected rocks in Arkansas and forgot to put my lens cap back on and scratched my lines up regrettably and permanently 😦 ) or sometimes I do get the itch to skip it across the creek.

And yesterday of course I found a hawk feather! You know my sudden surprise at seeing a bird feather! What mysteries does this feather hold? I’ll wonder…I will keep it and carry it with me each time I go for a walk. A sort of protection I guess. You do remember I met a hawk at work, and I saw some more on my morning walk. Oh the thrill this weirdo birdo had.

I’m going to comprise a bunch of links to my bird doodles for you all to read. In case you forgot that I like birds. You’re welcome!

Birds! And trees…mostly trees

I think that about sums the birds all up! I didn’t know there were so many!

The first one (birds! And trees…mostly trees) was the second blog post I made back in 2010, so 14 years later…who is still writing about birds, huh? I went through and read my older posts. So much has changed, I don’t even know, I mean motherhood and growing up and all. I cried and I smiled and I don’t know, I wasn’t expecting to hear my voice! because I thought I never had one. But I heard it. It’s just a voice full of love. Or something like that. What a way to figure it out. I’m just glad I still have these pages here to remind me that I do have a mushy good voice, and that I am terribly human.
