Privilage of Life

"Sky on a Green and Purple Night"by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  We are now into September and the beautiful moon full a few days ago is now starting it's wan toward the next cycle of light and dark, next cycle of tides and life.   In the northern hemisphere summer is slowly giving it's warmth for the fall colors and in many places the children are off to school. In the American southwest the desert winds are starting their heralding of fall by blowing the heat out as they blow the heat in in the spring, and life's cycle is slowly turning to fall.  If we are one of those individuals on the planet lucky enough to be blessed with the ability and freedom to step away from our personal troubles for a bit then it is easy to see the beauty in the universe and the joy in life and you realize that it has been not just a honor but a privilege to be a part of it.  Thank God

Whispy Thoughts

" Blue Hole" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  As summer peaks, we notice but without full acknowledgement, that the days are growing shorter and somewhere in the back of our minds the wispy thoughts of  school and Thanksgiving are starting to take shape.  The cycle is slowly coming around, and life is alive.  Thank God.

Slow March

"Bright Comet Night" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez-  Here we are in the first few days of official summer and even though the days are getting slightly shorter each day, we still have the long days with the long, slow, soft evenings and nights stretching out

Renewal and Rebirth

"Mitosis" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- We now find ourselves still in the dead of winter but at that time of the year when the days are noticeably longer than they were a few weeks ago at the solstice, a time when the promise of renewal and rebirth is not yet fulfilled but we can now see in the the movement of the heavens the inevitability of that fulfillment.  Each time of the year, like each time of day has it's own special place in our lives, all interconnected - we must know the fall to know the sunset,

A New Year's Moment

"John's Squares" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- Well, that time has come again, but will be gone tomorrow, that time when time meets man in a brief moment, a brief nexus of past and future, THE moment when the past becomes the bright and hopeful future ( local time, of course).  The New Year is upon us, and so at midnight tonight, that magic moment of  time that separates memories from anticipation, we celebrate not just the troubles and triumphs of the past year nor the hope for a better tomorrow, so much as the fact that there will be a tomorrow because tomorrow is already here, and since tomorrow is already here that means that like the seasons change, the cycle continues.  The cycle of life, like the change of the seasons is not only a cycle of life and death, of youth and age, of hope and renewal, but a cycle of faith as well.  Happy New Year!!!

"Lively Ice" by Drew John Tankersley

Happy sez- Winter came this year, as it often does, with a sudden fury that lets you know your never quite ready.  The winter clothes may be out, the pipes wrapped, and pumpkin pie glittering in your eye and you
