Zen Buddha Dog for ABC Wednesday ~ Letter 'Z'




Welcome to Wednesday post where we are sharing with art, photography and poetry blogs. Seem to be getting more centered and focused on what and how I want to create. It is a freeing feeling and also a feeling of integrating with my divine self. Thus giving me a sense of 'weighing less' as I am 'waiting less' and 'going with the flow' more. (Read Taoism or Shakti Gwain's book 'Living in the Light'. She writes about life issues such as 'weight' and the correlation with 'waiting' in one's life.) Go 'lightly through life.'







'Dog of All Seasons' ~ for Cool Clicks Thursday


Photo above depicts Winter on Cape Ann MA with snow and deep blue sky and chill winds in the air. Despite this, it is still wonderful to walk on the beach and ArtMuse Dog loves it because it is one of the few places she is 'off leash'.



For Carpe Diem ~ 'prompt' ~ seahawk






For Sensational Haiku Wednesday ~ prompt 'photograph'






'H' for Alphabe Thursday ~ Horizon

We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^

    That is a great Einstein quote - so true, so true. Is Zen dog ArtMuse's favorite dog :) I envy you walking along the beach on a nice cold crispy day. I loved taking walks when Mom lived in Cape Cod and feeling and smelling the cold crispy air. (Of course the secret is to be bundled up properly, right? :)

    Love this. I am using our new german shepherd puppy as a theme for the next round!
    We live near the sea too, so am looking forward in sharing the sights and sounds with him.
