Taking Time Out...

Taking time out from posting and being on the computer in general has been relaxing, so much so that I am finding that getting back to posting regularly is taking a bit of effort. 

Sometimes we do need to stop and recharge, change things around and have a break from whatever habits we have formed. 

Seeing the world clearer and also seeing new paths opening up as another year begins. It has been a few weeks of decluttering both the mind and my humble little home. I seem to be finding that less is more, material things losing their appeal, not that I have been one to really place too much importance on stuff. 

My connection to nature is deepening and I find that more often than not I just want to be outside watching the days pass. 

Obviously in my garden the watcher always becomes the watched.

Sitting still and gazing eye to eye with a bird really is a special and inspirational experience. 

Sometimes these gazing sessions last for quite a while with neither me or the bird moving. 

As I gaze I am in awe, every detail of the feathered beauty is taken in. 

But as for the bird, what must he be thinking of this human seated before him...
