I’ll be taking a small break for the next couple of weeks.
Wishing everyone a wonderful summer.
A little break

that way
just the other day,
i heard her say,
she never meant it that way
Recently
bright purple flowers
H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald
cedar waxwing on small ruby berries
walks along the water
turtles sunning on the edge of the marsh
bright red tomatoes with salt and olive oil
chips and home made salsa
outside cafe on a Sunday morning
making art in the afternoon
dark chocolate and croissants
small vanilla candles in the dark
1949 Ford pickup truck
river rocks in a porcelain bowl
when
you were so tender then,
but the days passed,
your green stem began to bend,
and now i can say–
i knew you when
Tired
dear peony, you looked so tired,
but ever so beautiful
A quote a day for a week:5
“Beauty, is reassuring.”
John-Paul Sartre
A quote a day for a week:3
“Small, everyday things can lift us out of despair. But nobody can do it for you. You’re the one who has to watch for the open door.”
Donna Tartt, from the novel, The Goldfinch
A quote a day for a week: 2
(from the song: I should have sent roses)
I don’t know where to start
This cage ‘round my heart
Locked up what I’d meant to say
Or I felt all along the way
Just wondering how come
I couldn’t take your breath away
Lyrics and Music by Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Leon Russell, from the album, The Union, 2010
Again
happiness needs to be tended,
cared for, coerced and cajoled–
it needs bright sunshine and soft moonshine–
happiness will sometimes hide,
go undercover, silent and dark–
but it will bloom again,
under the right temperature,
under the right love–
it blooms again
Fading Light
lay your head down,
lay it on my shoulder and let me heal you
with my touch
and my warmth
and the soft, fading light
of the dawning dusk
