Somehow, she managed to get there before the crowds did, though she knew that wouldn't last.

But no need to hurry, rush through the experience. She'd dreamed for years about being here, and now that she WAS here, she would extract every single possible element of satisfaction from the moment.

Because it was Her Moment.

I send thanks to the buyer from Utah who purchased an acrylic print of

Autumn on the Fremont River -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/autumn-on-the-fremont-river-steve-henderson.html?product=acrylic-print

May the artwork take you to a pleasant place along the river banks where you can burrow down in the foliage and dabble your feet in the water.

Peace, quiet, calm, and beauty.

She had barely taken a sip of tea before the knock came at the kitchen door.

Did she recognize that knock? Friend, foe, salesperson?

It was worth taking another long sip before making a decision. Friend, she'd answer and invite them to join her. Salesperson, politico, proselytizer or foe, no.

Not all sounds are created equal, of the same value, meaning, and desire to be heard. It's okay, especially in today's world of watching every word we speak, so say that something is better than something else.

Like the sound of water cascading down a precipice in the forest. This is a much better sound than yelling, or sirens, or the background babble of talking heads.

Sunset is a time for contemplation, for slowing down as the day comes to a close. And while sunsets are always worth taking time to see, they are especially emotive at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA.

The colors in both light and shadow are ephemeral, shifting and changing from one moment to the next. A majestic place, made even more divine.

She knew perfectly well that she wasn't dressed the way she was "supposed" to be for where she was, in the same way that she didn't believe the way she was "supposed" to believe nor live her life and pursue her interests and dreams the way she was "supposed" to do.

But because she knew her own mind, she didn't pay attention to the voices of conformity.

The rocks, the cliffs -- they don't move. Monolithic and still, the bluffs and crags of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA, do not rush about, teeming with activity.

Rather, they stand through the ages, relatively unchanging to our eyes. There is a sense of comfort in this immutability, especially in a world where we're told that things can't change fast enough.

It's like magic when you tell a child that green is made up of blue and yellow -- I enjoy watching them experiment with crayons and discovering, hey, it's true!

Nature uses the yellow of sunshine and the blue of water to create the lush green grass and leaves of spring.

And it's magical.

The clouds were broody but not seriously so. They had considered an evening storm, but upon reflection, broke up to allow the last light of the day to shine through.

And it was dramatic, and emotive, and peaceful -- a quiet and contemplative way to enter into the night.

It was a quiet place, still and peaceful. To hear the soft murmur of the river you had to stop and be very still yourself.

There was no sound of traffic, sirens, blaring horns. No slamming of doors, rings and dings and tinny tunes of cell phones, no background babble from TVs and screens.

Just gentle sounds, easy on the ears and mind.

Mountain Refuge canvas print -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/mountain-refuge-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

There was an entire landscape through which they ran, grazed, strolled, stayed together, and watched out for one another.

In the background, the mountains were protective, benevolent, a refuge in which they lived, totally oblivious to the existence of metropolises, cell phones, automobiles, and TV sets.

Oregon Coast Afterglow -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/oregon-coast-afterglow-steve-henderson.html?product=greeting-card

May the image upon the card take both you and the person to whom you send it to a place of rich, deep color and the unmistakable, sound of a soft, calming surf. Peace, to you and yours.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Stoicism
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Peace is not something that any political party has shown, through history, it is interested in pursuing.

But individual people, wanting to live their lives with normalcy and a semblance of security, do value peace.

We look for it through silence, thought, meditation, and contemplation -- seeking it within our hearts first, and then passing it on in our day to day lives to others.

"I'm away from the office right now.

"I didn't bring my phone. Just some drinking water and lunch.

"Thought I'd take a long walk out someplace quiet, remote, away from all the noise so I could just . . . think.

"It feels good out here, peaceful. Amazing how nature just keeps living and thriving through the years, isn't it?"

Red Sail Day -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/red-sail-day-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

May the artwork take you to a place of freedom, adventure, and joy, under a big sky and upon brisk waters with no limitations.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to ocean
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Maybe it's because it's such a deliciously warm spring where I live that my mind and spirit fly over to the ocean.

The first thing I do is kick off my shoes. The next thing is to walk straight into the surf and let it play around my feet. And then I begin walking.

What a perfect, perfect way to spend the day.

May the image take you to a place of joy and gladness, of good memories happily visited and re-visited.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Dog
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

The friendship of a dog is different from that of a human, but we can learn from them:

They're steadfast in the relationship, loyal, non-judgmental, and always ready to go out and do something fun. If we're not in the mood, they stay close by and simply grace us with their companionship.

The 10-12 years we have with them are memorable for us; I hope they are for them as well.

Big sky, big land, big rocks -- Monument Valley on the Colorado Plateau presents a panorama of mighty buttes and majestic rock formations.

It's a solid, unbudging landscape that isn't going anywhere, anytime soon, yet at the same time it has a transcendent, ethereal quality, as if it would disappear into the mist if you turned your back or closed your eyes.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Grey skies are a necessary part of green growth.

Nobody wants their parade rained on, but the landscape welcomes it: the storms of springtime are harbinger to bright, sunny days ahead.

The new season's healing water from the sky tell the snows of winter, in no uncertain terms, that things are about to change.

@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

The mountain looked imposing, daunting for the average person to cross over, go around, get past, but as with any challenge, it wasn't impossible.

It was a matter of time, determination, planning, skill, and the willingness to look into various options.

That's what life is -- a journey that takes us through valleys and to and past mountains.

Electricity is a fantastic invention, and I certainly wouldn't want to go back to a life of candles and kerosene. But like any technology, it has its pitfalls, and one of them is that we forget what nature's night lights look like.

At the sea, under a full moon, the effect is magical.

SteveHendersonFineArt, to Quotes
@SteveHendersonFineArt@mastodon.social avatar

Getting where we want to go takes concentration and focus, because no path is as straight and easy as a bowling lane.

Concentration and focus require that we set aside the things that don't matter, siren calls of the tech, political and entertainment world that promise to take us places, but never actually do.

Free Spirit -- https://2-steve-henderson.pixels.com/featured/free-spirit-steve-henderson.html?product=canvas-print

May the image take you to a hillside filled with wildflowers, on a perfect sunny day in late spring -- and may you connect with that wild child within you who runs and jumps and dreams and plays.
