Hidden Falls

  A friend of mine posted recently on Facebook, a photo taken from her hike on the Indian Creek Trail at Hanging Rock State Park, NC.  I immediately recognized the view! Many lovely memories came rushing back of hiking a portion of this trail which leads to two waterfalls.  Window Falls and Hidden Falls are … Continue reading Hidden Falls

The Dreaming Tree

I sit beneath the dreaming tree letting heart run wild and free. The path to here is long but sure. For crazy days this is my cure. Lean and long, grow and gaze, Wonder at how beauty plays On dappled thoughts here and there. My tree whispers love and care. -jpe (jennifer pilkington edwards) My … Continue reading The Dreaming Tree

This is the refrain from one of my FAVORITE songs by one of my FAVORITE musician/singer/songwriters: Mindy Gledhill. You just gotta listen to her music! It's the most wonderfulest!

New Walking Shoes!

I'm not really starting the EDM list as so  many are doing along with Danny.  I just got some new walking shoes a couple of days ago.  I could not believe how worn down the pair I was wearing was...huge holes, nearly clear through to my toes!  These new ones feel like springs, almost. I … Continue reading New Walking Shoes!

The Habit of Attention

Sitting here in the overwhelm that seems to be my life these days, I flip through my sketchbook to begin drawing on a blank page.  This is the last drawing entered in my Handbook Journal, drawn last Tuesday at Baptist Hospital waiting for my dear mom to come out of surgery for breast cancer. What … Continue reading The Habit of Attention
