A Graceful Nature Moment
~Marge Tindal~

Stepped into the meadow
For one last look at the sun disappear
There appeared in front of me
One gorgeous six-point deer~

Steadily we gazed
Neither wary of the other’s eyes
He stood his ground … I stood mine
What a moment of delightful surprise~

Slowly he turned to walk away
With a nod of acceptance … that I
Could be in his meadow
And look him innocently in the eye~

I’ll be there on the morrow
Hoping he will return
Quietly to the meadow
With earnest heart, I yearn~

*Just happened and I am so excitedly psyched*
~Of course I didn't have the camera ... it was dusk~
~But, it's etched in my heart if anyone wants reprints~

What a magnificent creature and what a fantastic gift to be eye to eye with him.

Gosh, I hope you can get his picture ... but imprinted on your heart and on our blue pages is good too!

Hugs ...

Dear Marge: I know how you feel, as I get excited every time I see a deer around here. Or a moose! Or any wildlife for that matter. It's always a thrill. I'm so glad you had this experience.

I've been there done that and it is thrilling. Their eyes are so innocent looking it would be hard for me to be a hunter.

Many of my friends complain that deer come out of the woods to eat their roses. I have open, cultivated fields around me so all I get are possums, racoons, mice. I would love to welcome a deer even at the expense of a rose bush or two. Love, Joyce

I read this, and it left me with the feeling that you walked away feeling a little touch of Gods hand with this encounter with one of His creation. The kind I feel when I see a newborn baby. What a wonder these touches of God are. Isn't it amazing the feeling you get!?

Do you know what's so great about you Marge? You can sense by everything that you write how very fulfilling life is for you. It's really amazing that you find so much beauty with nearly everything that you see and can express is so beautifully!

Marge~
This is just too cool, and I'm sooooo jealous!
It's been way too long since I was able to take a
walk through a meadow and just enjoy the wildlife.
You KNOW what an animal lover I am, and this just
gave me that yearning to just go 'away' somewhere,
out in the woods...just me and nature.
Makes me miss the days when I lived at the Grand Canyon.
Thanks for awakening the memories, my friend.
Love and hugs,
