'After the Storm on Cape Ann MA'for Our World Tuesday
It was 'the best of time; it was the worst of times.' The snow came down and the wind was wild and wooly and the result: almost two feet of snow. Then the next morning the sun came out like nothing had ever happened. No raging wind, no blowing snow just the peaceful and serene scene of a 'new earth.'

carpe diem haiku
creative everyday
I am practicing 'being in the now' ~ accepting that change is the one constant in life and now doing a New Moon Intention.
What are my intentions:
~ be grateful for what is
~ see beauty everywhere
~ practice my painting, photographing and writing haiku everyday
~ find the peace within and all around me each day
These are just a few of my 'New Moon' intentions ~ the rest I will put in my daily journal. Wonder what your New Moon intentions might be?
Wishing you the best in each day.
Hugs and namaste,
and
We love to have you post your comments, thoughts or questions to delight us all in the day ~ especially, ArtMuse Dog ^_^

Carol wow, that's really a lot of snow, since the legs of ArtMuseDog are way too short, right? :-))
ReplyDeletewe have very little snow, so I have the muse to compose my haiku ...
This much of snow is scary. But your haiku really warmed my heart! lovely!!
ReplyDeletewow your haiku melted my heart. Carol you have got so much snow, enjoy it! It is so nice you take photographs and capture so many moments. It is very inspiring, beautiful and creative. Have a lovely, lovely week.

Wow that is so much snow in such a short time. What beautiful scenes you captured the following day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thoughts and images.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of snow. Here in Finland, about 80 centimeters, it rains more.
Great week for you!
Beautiful, luxurious snow. Since I'm in Texas I can enjoy your photos. xo Jenny
ReplyDeleteThat is a big snow, so glad you are safe and sound. Your haiku is lovely. I would have to say your intentions are right on and I would follow the same practices. Hope you and your pup stay warm and safe. Have a happy day and week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI love the windmill Valentine, gorgeous
ReplyDeleteOh my....I'm glad I'm not way up north, and dealing with all that nasty white stuff. You have my sympathies. Stay warm and dry. Happy Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteYou make the snow look so beautiful...remembering it through the eyes of a child because I always thought snow was for children....getting old....but we must find beauty in everything because we are only here for a short while....my new moon intentions....accept the things you cannot change.....have a great day!
ReplyDeleteSun markings on snow are truly beautiful!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Beautiful snow. I can only admire it virtually - it's a welcome sight to someone who's used to being covered in dust!

Okay, made it to your blog, finally :) Oh. My. Goodness. Absolutely beautiful snow pics, but so much of it!! Interesting to read your moon intentions. Since retiring a year ago, i find I'm floating along wherever my fancy takes me. Put good food in my body, make sure to keep moving, stop to smell the roses, some art, some music, some nature, some human connection. Seems to work since I'm content and happy most of the time :)
ReplyDeleteAh, the peace following. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of the snow - I must say I don't care for the snow because I feel so trapped inside. With my bad back, I have to be so careful not to fall!

Beautiful haiku! With all that snow, amazing you made it out!
ReplyDeleteI woke up to snow this morning too, but a mere sprinkling compared to yours. The pristine snow in the first photo looks lovely, great to walk through a wood in the snow.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos! Great haiku as wll!
ReplyDeleteI closed my eyes and pictured feeling safe, protected by that powerful "you" will spinning in the "windmills" of life...
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of snow!
