Our makeup starts there in the beginning and looking back allows us to see not only our physical but those things we are molded by spiritualy.

Too many are busy filling their beaks with gold trinkets, grabbing present-moment materialism, deaf to the sound of the blackbird. To those who spend their life waiting for the payoff are those who never seize the sights and sounds of nature. Beautiful verse and photo. They compliment one another, think I'll stay awhile and filter it all, use it for growth. Thanks Peter.

"It sure feels good To be where I'm at"... and an attitude of gratitude will get you there EVERY time! It's amazing how just a single cameo snapshot in life can trigger this chain reaction which makes tectonic shift in your inner being for the rest of the day - often a Divine insight will do it. You have been very blessed and gifted - both by the song of the blackbird and by the security of the early homelife that contributed to making you the person you are today: "good to be where you're at!" Delightfully portrayed, Peter, thank you. Kate xx

Sometimes we have to pause a while in life. We also have to pause and listen to God and allow him to come into our lives and make the pain easy to bear. God has blessed us with the gift of writing and it is way of release for us all. God bless and keep you in all your endeavours.
