Morning Moments 1,2,3

The three small clips held in the posts below were taken earlier this morning, just as the light was really making itself known in the valley, around 6am.

The camera work leaves something to be desired, the operator hasn’t a clue what she is doing:0). But the welcome to the light is fractionally caught and that seems rather fine to me.

It is such moments that reinforce the sense of delight and wonder I discover each new day, the utterly unbelievable gifts right there at my back door given freely and consistently. How fortunate I am has no need to be mentioned or underlined but here each morning I get an underlining full of joy and life and dare I say it love.

The birds chorus is one that rips through the valley like a star careering to Earth transformed into energy and encountered by a heart.

I live in a crowded busy valley in Wales but on a morning such as this I know I live on a bounteous, beautiful and breathtakingly generous place called Earth and I am not ashamed to say I give thanks each morning for life offered so freely and accepted too often with only a passing nod.

The mornings give me a moment to say thank you but more than that they give me a moment to remind my self that moments are precious and are all I may stand in. That anything I ‘achieve’ in a day is but a moment and will pass as quickly as it came but Earth Stars and Sun give signs and wonders beyond knowing or understanding but an open heart and mind may receive them standing on a small piece of the Earth on an Early Sunday morning.

Moment 1 – 6am looking from kitchen door up the valley
Moment 2 – 6.05am looking from kitchen door down valley
Moment 3 – 6.15am looking around part of the garden from wee summer house verandah
Do have your speakers turned on or you'll miss the stars of the show:0)

Why is that everyone else's world always seem so more exotic then our own? You live in beautiful Wales, I live in beautiful Florida but I long to be in Wales. Yet we all have the same lives really. And you do take some beautiful photos of your exotic Wales.

Thank you for this - how wonderful to be able to hear the morning birdsong in your part of the country, where I live there is little birdsong so this has given me such pleasure.
The wonders of technology!

What wonderful sounds of spring...we are still just coming out of the Canadian winter here and the birds are just starting to feel free and sing! Thanks for sharing your spring with us.
