They all Know...

It is one whole year since my love departed.
This place looks pretty much the same without him except the crows are missing,
they seemed to have disappeared about the same time as he did as I recall.
The crow family and my love had a special relationship they
always hung out together by the old stones up stream...


The House Martins didn't show up either this year I think they got word from the crows.
Oh and the frogs decided not to spawn in the still pool under the bridge, for the first time ever!
But, the Wisteria has blossomed like she has never blossomed before!
I think she is giving me a show stopping finale for she knows the time has come...

I'm just waiting for the final go-ahead and then ~
I must say goodbye to this old cottage, these old stones
that have sheltered me for almost sixteen years
I must let go and Trust that there will be
a new chapter for me,
a new beginning
and
that I will survive,
alone, but not lonely!

Ahhhh - so sweet... Yes, all of Nature seems to know when it's time to move in order to survive, to find new places in which to thrive... I hope you get to spread your wings and fly soon... OXC

may the creatures accompany and guide you as you step out on this next journey and may you always remember you do not walk alone, friend.

how gorgeous is that wisteria! n of my favourite flowering plants. there is much symbolism attached to this plant, but a few of them are; love, releasing burdens, and immortality.

Oh my sweet Sue
one year
and you are still standing...lungs filled with the breath of a new day
so much more awaits you
and I know your love wants you to step into it as he smiles and watches the unfolding of you
you are rich with so much...even with the grief because the grief says there was love alive ... love that still remains till you breathe you last breath...for you loved and were loved...rich, yes, so rich

lonely, but never alone....Amen

love and light

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who  used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could  see the black dog had turned up too and  that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye,  "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely  demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough  and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day,  I am grateful for each day of my life...   I was at a funeral on Friday,  to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window,  which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise. I take many photographs from this window as I marvel at the sun's energy  to illuminate or in this case reveal through shadows and reflections. This image has been sitting in my file for sometime, it has a hidden message for me that  I knew would one day surface...    Heart broken open by the mystery of you... love stitches together.  Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life  embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing... Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
