This time I was a bit more relaxed behind the camera — maybe the redpoll’s cuteness and fine details came through a little better? 🤔🪶 Perfect timing for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme: #SideProfiles. 赤いおでこが可愛い🥰新機材のポテンシャルを発揮できてるかな？🤔 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #CommonRedpoll #ベニヒワ #birds #野鳥

Happy First Day of Winter! ❄️

Becoming real💜

Makes my old mystic heart weep: “I tell my love to wreck it all. Cut out all the ropes and let me fall…Right in this moment, this order is tall.” — Birdy

Did you know about St Nicholas and his three boys? Saint Nicholas with the Three Boys in the Pickling Tub ca. 1500 South Netherlandish

Muslim (Mughal) xmas paintings! The presentation of the infant Jesus in the temple at Jerusalem, c. 1600-1610.

Myths are true basically because they work! A sacred myth keeps a people healthy, happy, and whole—even inside their pain. They give deep meaning & pull us into “deep time” (which encompasses all time, past & future, geological and cosmological, and not just our little time or culture)~Richard Rohr
