I took a short hike to a lighthouse point by the bay of San Francisco. Looking up at a sea cliff I was surprised by many deer feeding on the plants. In my wonder at how these creatures managed to navigate these steep rocks, a verse from Habakkuk repeated in my mind.

Two doves flew in front of my car, fluttering downward to sit in a nearby yard. Earlier in the day I had watched a pair of horses running full speed as they played together. I nearly walked into a pair of dragonflies connected in flight. A few days earlier I had stumbled upon a pair [...]

The light came into our room early. Looking at the clock I knew I should get in the shower. Thinking about this, I lay still, gazing at my husband’s face as he slept. He looked so peaceful. His schedule is generally full on weekends, but not this one. In an instant I knew I wasn’t [...]
