come take a winter river walk with me

  

to a place i never tire of wandering

 
  

through every season

 

pieces of the river disguised as twirling snowflakes

 

or ice taking a rock heart prisoner

seeing firsthand there is a flow, even under the frozen places

flowing all around the frozen parts, melting them

big enough to hold everything just as it is

 
ever changing patterns and textures

     

my touchstone to the nature of impermanence

the occupier of each shape

every form and space

all sentient beings

and all nonsentient beings

i love watching the changes i see here

it reminds me to open wide, to see every moment with fresh eyes.

Oh Katie!! Thank you for taking my son and I along on the walk "with you". I was so enthralled with your pictures that I had to call him over to see. We both LOVED them. Thank you for the experience.

Not only perfectly descriptive words, but pictures to support your vision....I'm amazed at how perfect the rocks look suspended in ice! I guess I've never really looked at them in that light. You've motivated me to take a walk down to Lake Michigan tomorrow morning...I will see what I can see...and take you with me...xo

mmm! You're making me want to get outside! Think I will. And today, because of you, I will be taking my camera. xo
