The river moves calmly through its landscape, not in any particular hurry to get where it's going because, even if the pace is leisurely, it will still, eventually, reach its destination. A good thing to remember when we're tempted to rush through our day.

@cynblogger Thank you!

When I was a kid, I used to take a lot of rambling walks through the country, and while as an adult I tend to plan my hikes, I still enjoy a good ramble. You never know what you'll see when you crest that little hill.

Too many people are waiting until they die to find paradise. And while life on earth is admittedly imperfect, if we're always waiting for "someday," we won't be aware of the glimpses of paradise we receive while we're still "down here."

The warmth and light of Christmas, the joy of the season, the focusing upon light and goodness -- these are gifts worth opening and enjoying all year long.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

High tide, low tide -- twice each day there are two of each, and the ocean and its coast reflect the constant change and movement of the moon's pull. There is always something to see at the sea, and it's worth taking time to see it.

It's amazing how much easier it is to think in a quiet place, when you feel calm, contented, and relaxed. It's worth finding such a place and spending time there.

Time passes for all of us, the good and the bad. The good are never here long enough. The bad long outstay their welcome.

They are sisters and friends, these five stylishly dressed women who are enjoying a day out shopping and simply being together. Interaction with people we care about is one of life's greatest gifts.

Because she kept her eyes open, the woman readily spotted the stumbling blocks and pitfalls, so she didn't trip over the one or tumble into the other.

Country roads are not freeways, and you simply cannot drive quickly on them. And while this seems obvious, you'd be surprised at the people who try. Better, instead, to accept them for what they are and enjoy the leisurely way they take you through the landscape. More peaceful that way.

Those who worry too much about fitting in don't focus on being who and what they truly are. When we are comfortable with ourselves, we don't look like a copy of someone else. And that's when insecure people call us "different."

Mountains are always a reminder to me that the earth is a big place, filled with incredible landscapes, and it doesn't like to be dominated or controlled. We are more than welcome to live here as guests and family, but not as rulers.

Land is more precious than diamonds. You cannot raise crops or graze animals on rocks, no matter how pretty or expensive they are.

She stands strong, bold, confident and free, this young woman -- the Canyon Sprite -- of the Grand Canyon. I painted this as a celebration of freedom, which should never, ever be spelled or referred to as "free-dumb."

A group of friends has spent the most pleasant day out on the water together, and that day is coming to a contented close. Sunset casts its golden glow over water and sky, creating a magical environment that is almost other worldly.

The room is filled with flowers, their heady perfume adding to the sense of peace and calm in the woman's boudoir. Gently, slowly, she reaches up to arrange her hair, taking her time and enjoying every moment as she prepares for a special evening.

The beauty of dance is that it frees our mind and body to move gracefully through space, releasing them both from the confines of worry, fear, and anxiety. And in freeing ourselves from these elements, we encounter joy.

The ocean invites us to stroll its beaches, feeling the surf on our bare feet as we look out into the vastness of water and waves. This is a time and place for daydreaming, imagining, wondering, and experiencing peace.

Flowers aren't difficult -- they stay in the basket where they belong, waiting to be arranged into a spring bouquet. But cats . . . they never stay where we want them, such as in our arms or laps. Unless, of course, we don't want them there . . .

When I was a kid, we had a calendar with the holidays listed in red -- red letter days were celebration days. This painting is a red sail day -- a celebration day consisting of a group of friends getting out into the water, enjoying the weekend, together.

I have never hiked Angels Landing trail in Zion National Park, not because it isn't beautiful (I'm sure it is), but because it is crowded. The line of hikers working their way up looks like a looong line in the grocery store. Instead, I choose to hike trails that few people find because they're not promoted. But they're beautiful. And not crowded.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Years ago, when my wife and I were first married and had little money to spare, we were almost offered a free TV, but it went to my wife's older brother and his wife because, well, I don't know why. But to this day, we are grateful, because we never did wind up getting a TV. Instead, we focused on books, the love of which has passed on to our children.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

It is late afternoon on a sultry summer day in the country. The wheat fields surrounding the farmhouse are golden, glowing under the soon to be setting sun, and from where you're sitting, on the porch, it feels good to just enjoy the silence and the peace.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

It is rainy, but the couple in the secluded Italian alleyway do not notice because they have eyes only for each other. His fedora and her cloche hat give a retro, nostalgic feel, but the sense of romance is timeless.

Gold. It is indeed precious. But this particular gold isn't a metal, and it isn't limited to the hands of a few. Indeed, the golden glow of a quiet, calm sunrise can't be held at all, but is freely given to all to enjoy.
