~ Prayer For My Country ~ ©Lindy Low Le Coq ~

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

Walking through wind and rain this morning of November 3, 2020, I send prayers of thanksgiving to my fellow citizens;

you who stand in long lines

masked and socially distanced

wending your way to the voting booth.

Thank you for caring,

thank you for your courage, your tenacity

your belief that your vote and voice matter.

Quietly, as I gaze upon a stormy Pacific Ocean, from my heart across our vast country, I send blessings twined with an appeal;

that we accept outcomes rendered

from a full count of our votes,

and be guided toward

a renaissance of healing.

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

~ Report from the Edge of a Continent ~ Blue Moon at Sunrise ~

Posted on November 1, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

blue-moon sets at sunrise

all saints lower to skyline

dip under ocean

all souls rise once more

into a brilliant new day

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

~ Lens-Artists Challenge #120 – What A Treat! ~

Posted on October 30, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

What a treat:

to awaken to the rumble of the Pacific Ocean in the distance,

to breathe the essence of salt sea air on a crisp Autumn day,

to feel the sun’s warmth on my shoulders, is it breaks through cloudy skies,

to see a Red-shafted Flicker dart above the meadow into tall evergreen trees,

to hear the cricket-croak of tree frogs returning,

to sip warm café-au-lait, while listening to the soft rhythm of Jello’s breathing, as she melts into her pillow.

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

Thank you Tina, for a wide open prompt. It helps to count one’s blessings in times of stress!

~ Lens-Artists Photo Challenge 119: My Hideaway ~

Posted on October 23, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

Leya has invited us to show our favorite hideaway this week. As it happens, I have two special places to relax, write, read and think. When we’re home in Vancouver during the summertime, my hideaway is under a bower near the pond/waterfall feature in our back yard. The first photo below, features sunlight filtered through a sprinkler that is refreshing the garden and pond.

When we’re at Long Beach, Jello and I share the big barrel chair in the corner, where I can see out the picture window and sliding glass patio door. With my laptop nearby, and a candle warmer to keep my café au lait warm, I snuggle into the chair, often with Jello tucked in beside me. We are replacing the chair with a new, equally accommodating one soon. Jello can hardly wait!

Wishing everyone safe harbor, as we navigate uncharted waters.🐾

~ Lens Artists Photo Challenge 118: Communication ~ Jello Talk ~

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Lindy Le Coq

I’ve loved animals all my life, and though my childhood dream of being a Veterinarian didn’t materialize, I did turn into a pretty good dog-whisperer.

Jello is the fifth Beagle we’ve welcomed into our family. She was four when we were blessed to become her forever home. This Christmas she will turn 10. What a lot of fun she continues to be!
