Only Beauty

I am grateful for the birds that grace the feeder this morning. Their colors speak to me of the extravagnace, variety and abundance that is in the natural world. I am gratful for my friend Bill visiting last night and for his contageous zest for life. Having such a friend engages me and challenges me to stay engaged in the goodness of life. I am gratful for the protection of the spirits from the unintentional damage done by angry individuals around me. For these things I give thanks.
