Like It Was Only Yesterday Her memories seemed elusive at times... But the very best ones truly felt like they happened only yesterday. Or maybe the day before.
Soft Eyes & The Whole PictureWhen she looked at it with soft eyes, She could finally see the whole picture. It surprised her. And made her smile.

Dreams Live HereI rebooted my computer one day. And when it came alive again - an email popped up, sent by a friend months before with a quote from an unknown author. Strange. It read: The universe makes no mistakes in its ongoing expansion. Each of us is born to be different; to have a unique life experience whether for a second or for 100 years. Some sing out loud on the train, some stay silent in a meeting, some will have 5 marriages in their lifetime. Some will be convinced that their faith is the only one, teach children to dance, raise millions for charity, be always late for work, struggle with rules, chew gum continuously, be unsinkingly positive, always beat you at golf … The list of differences is infinite. If all you do today is practice allowing others their freedom of expression as a human being, your contribution to the ‘happiness scale’ of the universe will create a ripple effect that will last for eternity. Respect & allowing. It's really that powerful. I didn't write that, but I wish I did. It's something my mother would have said. And I believe it with all my heart.
Summer Always Sways Me Summer does. It sways me. It doesn't even have to actually be summer, it just has to feel like it. And then I sway. To its breeze... to its rhythms... its colors... its fragrance. It has me at "Hello, I'm 80 degrees." Even my opinions are swayed... toward a mellower, happier, a more "the hills are alive" version of themselves. And today... well, it was swayful. Le siiiiigh.

The Fateful Finger of FogIt crept in the morning, the fateful finger of fog. Breathing upon, touching, altering all in its path. Was it frightening or enlightening? None could ever say. For it wakening and stirred that which Each dwelled upon the most. What if...? Just a thought. ©Karen Hutton - Creative Commons (CC BY-NC 3.0)

Sky On Fire When a scene like this is presents itself to you, it's kind of like the spotlight switching on and the director barking "Action!!". You're on. You're in the zone. Maybe a little nervous about hitting your mark, saying your lines right. Which is kinda silly, since a scene like this has nothing to do with you. All you can really do is be in awe. And do your best to be in service of such a moment so that maybe someone who wasn't even there can understand why you were left completely speechless. The sky was indeed on fire that night.

The Sign

Donner Lake, Truckee, CA
Her mother always told never to worry...
but to pay careful attention
For there would always be a sign...
and she would know just what to do.
Always.
