I send thanks to the buyer from Texas who purchased a 10-pack of greeting cards of

The Teal Umbrella -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/the-teal-umbrella-steve-henderson.html?product=greeting-card

May the artwork take both you and the people to whom you send the cards to a place of summer joy, one in which the simple, quiet things in life are celebrated and honored.

Well, why not believe the impossible, reach for the improbable? We do it all the time when we listen to the news readers and accept what they say as true.

Better to put that energy into determining what it is we want to achieve, and go about achieving it.

Of course there were things to do; there always were, and some of them could even be listed in the "important" column.

But at the moment, nothing seemed more important than standing in the yard, overlooking the bay filled with sailboats, and just letting one's mind glide from one thought to another, as if it too were sailing on the bay.

Out in the middle of nowhere is actually somewhere: it's a landscape surrounded by space, and within that space one can walk around outside in one's bathrobe -- or not even that if you please -- and not be seen by the neighbors.

You don't hear their TV or music. No loud cars, or sirens. No shouting, flashing lights, LED advertisements in your face.

That's someplace worth being.

May the artwork bring to both you and the person to whom you send the card a moment of calmness and peace, a celebration of tranquility that we enjoy when we take time out to enjoy the many treasures in our lives.

You can't gulp down scalding hot coffee -- no matter how much of a hurry you're in, you have to either slowly sip and savor, or set the cup aside until it cools down.

Morning coffee is a welcoming opportunity to slowly sip and savor morning itself, to give ourselves a moment -- brief or prolonged -- to wake up, along with the day, calmly.

We share our secrets and our thoughts with those who hold them gently in their hands and securely in their hearts.

These people are few. Even social butterflies who boast of being "people persons" with lots and lots of friends would be wise to watch with whom they share their innermost introspections.

Light streamed through the windows, flowing like water into the room and filling it with a rich and satisfying warmth.

She leaned toward the light, into the light, seeking to capture that glowing warmth onto her skin and from there, to absorb it into her very being.

How gloriously contented it made her feel!

She laughed.

Oh, she knew perfectly well that she was supposed to be serious, concerned, keeping up on the news of the day, fearful of the Next Big Thing, savvy and cool, yet at the same time perturbed and troubled over . . . everything.

But she opted not to.

Mothers fuss, don't they?

Concerned, watching, attentive,

Showing us their love.

When you care about someone, you watch out for them. And while during our teen years we may not have wished to be seen in the presence of our parents, deep down there was a security in knowing they were there.

Just . . . out of sight.

Mothers, fathers, parents -- they fuss because they care.

It was a good day, a quiet day, and it passed pleasantly out on the water as one literally watched the world go by.

Or more accurately, the world stayed in one place as you sailed by it.

And now, as evening approaches, it's time to think about coming back to shore, but then again, there's really no hurry about that. There's no hurry about a lot of things . . .

Chief Joseph Mountain -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/chief-joseph-mountain-steve-henderson.html?product=art-print

Mountains are majestic and mighty and timeless. When we stand before them we get a sense of our smallness and mortality, and that isn't such a bad thing.

May the artwork take you to a place of a grandeur that is truly noble because it is resplendent with a stateliness that deserves the name.

Everyone wants to go where the view is, but the thing is, the view isn't in just one place.

Lots of people hike Angels Landing Trail in Zion National Park, because there's a fantastic view. But if you step off the trail and take another, less well known one, you still get the view.

Without the crowds.

She made a conscious effort to smile on the inside, to school her thoughts in such a way that she was neither muttering hostilities nor trembling with fear.

And the odd thing -- or maybe it wasn't so odd! -- was that when she smiled inside she stood taller, walked with an easy grace, looked at the world with open, clear eyes, and . . . smiled on the outside as well.

It's a rugged place, this high valley in the wilderness of Oregon. May the artwork take you to such a place -- one of wild beauty, intense silence, and timeless majesty.

The sound of the sea, the kiss of mist, rocks underneath my feet: I wander through Nature's remote places -- not in a hurry, not in a rush -- and find solace from the raucous sounds of strife that modern life calls reality.

But here, this is reality, one that I would like to learn more about, and wonder over, and simply be in.

It was easy, too easy. to carry about bitterness and anger, resentment and fear within her -- there was so much to be angry and bitter about.

But she felt in her heart, sensed it in her steps that these emotions caused her to be clumsy, awkward, unable to stand and move with strength.

The grace and freedom she sought did not live in hatred.

There were so many things to think about, but they had to be curated.

Otherwise, she would use this precious time of silence to focus on things that didn't matter, items of "news" or current events to mentally grumble over, as opposed to deeply focusing and thinking upon those introspections within her heart, ones that were calling out to be heard.

She brought the umbrella because she wanted to, not because she was told to.

In fact, most people told her she was silly to bring it.

Personally, she thought it was silly to listen to most people at the expense of heeding one's own voice.

It did not stumble and rush through its space, this quiet stream. Rather, it literally flowed with the landscape, and when it encountered barriers, it either went around them or kept nudging, pushing, and bumping against them until it found a way through.

Unrelenting determination makes an impact.

All day, every day, we acquire a lot of information, some of it true, quite a bit of it, I imagine, false, or at best, misleading.

The world won't stop when we stop listening. We have freedom to pause, look at our surroundings, wonder, ponder, and seek that which is true, and beautiful, timeless, natural, normal and good.
