If we could but see
the Intricate Patterns
that comprise our Lives,
our breath would catch
our eyes light up …
with the Majestic Tapestry
of who we really are.

Carol, as I stood upon this spot to photograph this, I was just mesmerized by the lacy patterns of the tree branches. The lighting and background were both perfect in order for them to be seen to their advantage. I stood there for a long time just allowing my spirit to drink in huge gulps of what lay before me. Emotions stirred within which I am not able to put into words. The forest spoke to me that day as I felt those branches and I becoming ONE. I didn’t want to walk away from this spot. I’m glad the trees spoke to you as well. Love, Amy ❤

Hopefully soon, Van. We have a little snow on the ground right now but it is raining so that will be gone soon. Fascinating these branches were …. imagine them covered in snow. Goosebumps!!! I know exactly where this spot is, and yes I do plan on going back to this very spot when it does snow. (((HUGS))) Amy ❤

What you see as spooky I saw as lacy. I was fascinated by the patterns these branches made. I stood for a long time here, just looking, just allowing my spirit to drink deeply. The second image again I was just playing. It is meant to represent our magnificence of who we are. Love, Amy ❤

Wow, Natalie!!! When I stood on the spot to photograph this I got the goosebumps! What was before me drew me in like a magnet and my spirit just became so still.

I react the same way, Natalie. I feel such an intense Connection with God, with All That Is, with Mother … with EVERYTHING that rooted to the spot, my stomach seems to drop out from under me, my Heart just about is lodged in my throat, my breath becomes so quiet, and the tears fall. Powerful Connections I have been experiencing lately!!! ❤

I stood on the spot I photographed this for a long time, Dan. The emotions this scene evoked in me I cannot even put into words. What this image does not convey due to all the leaves on the ground, is that I was standing atop a ravine, and this ravine is quite deep. If you look closely there is a stream towards the bottom left that does give this image some sense of how high I was standing in relation to the whole picture. I’m glad you enjoyed. I’ve begun to really “see” this forest and what I am seeing, brings such deep quiet to my spirit. Love, Amy >3

This forest has really been speaking to me. Yet for days now, my spirit has been very quiet needing space from the forest. When I hear the CALL I shall go again. I know exactly where this spot is so when it snows I shall return to see what it looks like. There are many spots I want to see when it snows. (smile) Figure, I am SO ready for snow and here we are having such funny weather. It has to happen sooner or later. LOL Love, Amy ❤

All I can saw WE ARE READY! I look out my window right now to drink in GREEN while I still can but once that snow begins to fall I have a feeling it just won’t stop. Today seems a brighter day, the gray lifting a bit, and I really want to explore a trail that was brought to my attention that has waterfalls. And of course I will be bringing my equipment. 🙂 ❤

Thank you, Lynz!!! Yes I do wish we could actually see our own designs of who we are. And how those designs extend to interconnect with All That Is. Talk about thought provoking!! My sister says I ask too many questions and I seek too much …. hence I go in circles. Yet by going in circles I create a path that goes deeper, wider, one that changes my Perspective on Life as I grow, and one that enables me to empower myself in more and more ways. At least that is how I see it. 🙂 (((HUGS))) Amy ❤
