Preachers

Those that don’t know preach
second chances and starting over.
But self forgiveness is a difficult thing.
Perhaps the best we can hope for
is acceptance of our mistakes,
acknowledgement of our efforts,
and a gentle heart to hold our shame.

Magic days

The trees droop laden with the innocence of snow. Footprints lead the way to somewhere you want to go. While the season chills us we still wander through magic days. Enjoy. -Mandy Ricks

Find the Wild

Find the wild

Listen quietly to the sound of the wilderness

Trees rustling

birds chirping

the breeze whispering.

Breathe all of it in and you will feel like the wisest of us all.
