Looking Skyward...

For once you have tasted flight 

you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, 
for there you have been 

and there you will long to return. 

~Leonardo da Vinci

And when your Son captures you looking skyward... 
a pause at the Tappan Memorial Park, Tappan, New York,
 feeling the embrace of the sun and the grace of the day ...
blessed be the moment...

In Haiku Reflection

to be in stillness
butterflies in lilting flight
blessed be God's grace.
