asheville green real estate tours: Asheville "Scene " Around Town Photo Series: Cat's Eye View - 05/09/09 09:42 PM

Upon examining the shot tonight, I was reminded that not every living creature in the world has the same view upon it as you or I might have.... Possibly, we are looking at areas of inquiry as opposed to areas of expertise. How worthwhile then to come to a sense of satisfaction with just being who we are-with all that we are, and all that we have. And then, how worthwhile, to see the whole world open up to us again dressed in the mystique of the moment. Ah-to recover our … (8 comments)

" APRIL FROSTING" I awoke this morning to the call of a mockingbird. Then a cardinal pair sang the sun up. As the days lengthen and cold weather gets ready to escape the mountains, the Dance of the Princely Paw Paws is forgotten. For there are adventures in the mountains ready to be had; an "April Frosting" on the seasonal cake, and I am on my way to gather as many as I can in the basket of life. Asheville in the Spring! Land of fine mystery and beauty. Of Magic. Maybe, if you are lucky, the mists will clear over the mountain, as they did … (4 comments)
