Hal, thank you for sharing this beautiful birthday tribute to dear Teresa. I read your post from my kitchen table where one of Teresa's joyous dancing Sandhill Crane drawings greets me each morning. The cranes have returned to Halleck for the season, along with a gorgeous snow storm. Grateful. Happy Birthday, Teresa!

"...to feel myself beloved on the earth." - So profoundly beautiful! I am most at peace and in tune when I'm hiking in the mountains. I feel how all of nature is conscious and I sense we are breathing together. I'm so happy to have Teresa's mug with the Hummingbird in flight...and happy to know how tremendous his heart is for his size. LOVE this post!! Happy Birthday to your Beloved!

Thanks, Hal, and a very Happy Birthday to Teresa. I remember fondly talking with you both as one of her sheep paintings hung on the wall above the fancy piano at Elko. All the best to you both!

What a beautiful product of a beautiful partnership! Thanks so much for sharing it, for being yourselves and who you are together. So glad, too, to have four of your cranes hanging above our bed. Hope this is a joyous day for you both. xox
