Visiting the prayer garden at the church --yes, it was cold down on my hands and knees taking these pictures--it was worth it. Up close each of these showed that pristine new color that new growth does...even on a dark northwest day.

Paul Hawken's Commencement Talk at University of Portland

I have rarely been very impressed with speakers during Commencement 'doings'--including my own. However, this month Paul Hawken's spoke to the class of 2009 at University of Portland and he was remarkable. Check it out and share it.

If it is Spring--then hats

I have never been much of a hat wearer--except for warmth...but Spring always meant hats for ladies when I was young. So, when I saw this hat on Google images...it just spoke to me of one of those cool spring mornings and my mother in a hat.....

And since I missed Earth Day I thought I would pass on this little item I read in the April issue of Friends of Silence:

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread

places to play in and pray in,

where nature may heal and give strength

to body and soul alike.
