Rock Reflection Ritual - Treasures

 Rock Reflection Ritual 

Phoyo by Debbie Soderberg Kirchner 

I treasure Bear for encouraging me to sit outside each day with him! He barks, dances and insists that we go out together! If I send him out without following him, I get more barking and whining until I finally join him! He is magically connected to my soul!

Sometimes he waits until my coffee is brewed, but not always! Lol! I have often told him I have nothing to write about. He doesn't care! Lol! We still need to sit together! I will always treasure these moments! 

When I mentioned to a friend that I may need to go back to work in order to have things to write about, she immediately set me straight! 

"You will always have something to write about!" 

I decided to put that thought to the test! I randomly chose several pictures that brought me joy when I took them! Pictures and moments I will always treasure!

These lovely littles grew up in our front yard this summer. Bear found them before I did! I put up a barrier that momma bunny could get through, but my pack couldn't! I felt responsible for keeping them safe! As they got bigger, I  counted 10 little ones! I questioned the location of this nest, but it turned out to be a successful brood, from what I  could tell! 

I treasure the joy they brought to my heart when they hopped away from my front yard out into grassier areas when they were able to be independent!

Even though our weather has been dry we had a fun season of picking berries on our magicalproperty! We fortunately noticed this small patch late in the picking season! I have to admit, I have a love hate relationship with the tall guard stalks the plants send out! They protect their treasure of beautiful Black Cap Raspberries from birds, mammals and me! However, they are serious about their roll in the kingdom! I have battle scares to prove it!

Nonetheless, picking them brought me so much joy as I listened to the sounds of the nearby woods! Memories of the years we have lived here past through my heart!

The colors hidden below the guarding branches were magnificent this year and ever so inviting!  They needed to be protected, so they could go to seed once again, thus continuing their magical legacy! This particular patch was transported to this spot via my heart horse, Jewel. 

We had taken a trip to South Dakota, years ago, during their black cap season! We stopped to eat berries from horseback many times while we were there! He ate as many as we did! This was his pasture at the time! 

I treasure my memories of Jewel, and our South Dakota adventures! I am grateful that this was the year this little enchanted patch of berries decided  to reveal itself to us!

While savoring the memories of our South Dakota adventures,  this lovely emerald green tree frog, the prince of the forest, appeared magically! He watched me as I cruised through his courtyard, taking some of the beautiful berries for ourselves! I was honored that he allowed me to see him! He was tiny,   quick and oh so elegant!  

A charming moment I too will treasure!

This last picture of Sir Ollie is treasured because it was one of the last pictures I sent to my late friend! Her horses all can sit when asked! Not mine! So when I  saw Ollie sitting I knew she would smile when she saw it, which brings me joy!

Treasure the moments that bring you joy. Those moments thst cause you or others to smile and allow magical adventures to be remembered! 

What images do you treasure? Are they images of adventures, moments you felt joyful or when your heart was magically touched with a deep loving energy? A treasured memory to hold dear!

Manifest a magical day!

With gratitude!
