About Me:

I'm Shannon Jackson Arnold. I am a writer, a seeker and seed-sharer. I wrote the words and took the most of the flower pictures on this blog. As of April 2010, this website is on sabbatical while I create my new writing project. I'm leaving the archives up so you can visit if you like. I particularly enjoyed creating my Flowering Fridays feature where I paired one of my flower photographs with musings about what flowers can teach us about life. You can view some of my flower photos here. You are welcome to keep in touch with me by signing up for my occasional newsletter. May you and your dreams bloom. grow. shine. into their fullest expression.

Monday Musings: The Unfolding River

"I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding." — John O'Donohue

Last week, my friend, Mary Frances, sent me John O'Donohue's healing poem, "Beannacht," after my mom's passing.

This quote was at the top of the link.

I can't think of a more beautiful intention for living life than this.

May this week unfold with ease, flow and surprise for us all.
