Looking through the eyes of love

My very dear friend Beth came to spend a week with us at the Inside Outside School.  Beth is a dear wise woman friend who acts and speaks with love and sees people through the eyes of love.  She is my teacher.  I got to spend the week seeing the school and the children through her eyes a bit...the eyes of unconditional love (as long as you are not a chigger.) Here are some photos Beth and I took of our week at the Inside Outside School...
These are three of our outdoor artists drawing raptors and a gallery walk of their beautiful art. We dipped our watercolor paintbrushes into creek water after sketching with a step by step tutorial in The Laws Guide to Drawing Birds.

There were friends...

flora and fauna...

and blessings.  Wednesday on the day of the Full Moon we blessed our creek.  Each student was invited to bring a bit of water from home to pour together and bless with our loving appreciation for the many gifts of water.  We then walked together quietly to the creek where two students added our gift water to the beautiful creek.  I've been present several times when Beth has blessed the natural spring at Lama. Her respect for water is very full of grace.  

And finally this...right before leaving for brunch at Kerbey Lane, we had to rescue Coconut the goat who had her horns and head stuck through the fencing.  It was a monumental task.  I took advantage of having an accomplice and together we gave Coconut a head adornment just like Clover's.  

My friend has flown away on her long eagle feathers.  I know we are in her heart which is very, very big, as she is in ours.
