New visitors and strange little faces...


We were visited by a new creature yesterday morning. Looking like a cross between a squirrel and a chipmunk, we think it might be a young red squirrel.


But, for now, we can enjoy its presence without really knowing.
Soon after the chipmunks came back, and one of them stood on the railing, poised for several minutes, looking towards our living room. Cheeks full of nuts... cheeky and absolutely nuts.

"Well, you put them all out here and I just had to load up, winter's coming..."

What a cute little chipmunk.

Oh, such privilege to truly pause and see the incredible creations in our world, the trees, the flowers, the birds, the bees, the animals...and, of course, human beings. How glorious it is to truly see one another and to truly be seen as well, how I wish we would all take more time to do that, to see anew. Funny...think about the word respect...to see again...that just about says it all.

There is bountiful and reason in each moment to celebrate.

Thank you beautiful little creature, for the smiles your little spirit brought us this day, for reminding me that, on so many levels, it is all about respect.
