t'was just a sparkle
peeping through the blacks and grey
it filled my whole eye ....
My daughter's car stands motionless on our drive,
she is in hospital with severe stress symptoms.
It has been a dark week,
yesterday I noticed a sparkle reflecting
off of her car through my window.
off of her car through my window.
She's been rattling up and down the motorway
for the last year everyday to
the job she loves and is fighting hard to keep.
The car had so many rattles, now fixed by my love,
it's washed, polished and resting-up

I think your photos and accompanying haiku are lovely, soulful too. Your poor DD and poor you too - we all went through something very similar earlier this year - it was the most debilitating and emotional time of our lives. They say "that that don't kill you, makes you stronger", don't they?
It's true, painful and a drawn-out process... Best wishes - =)
anyway, sending health vibes to her.
lovely shots - dark moments, light of hope...
so difficult to think
we would not notice the Bright
without the Dark.
do you think it is true?
that only by contrast
do we really See?
that only through hardness
can we appreciate the soft?
i can never figure it out...
one sparkle can do so much
and soon i hope you see
one
in your daughter's eyes...
{{ chronic depression
is a dragon that lives
in my family's basement...
i thank god
our foundation is firm,
our roof is sturdy,
but
i love our home
Entirely.
i do not give up
even one room.}}
Wishing you the very best!!
I found the photos beautiful and then the haiku which tells a different story!
Take care
My thoughts and prayers for healing to surround your daughter and gentle peace to you.
Always, Queenie
i love that the reflection of your daughters car cast light into your home and heart. i think of the light of her inner force propelling herself forward. i love too that you mentioned the hands of your love polishing and protecting your daughters vehicle. and you channeling it all towards her healing.
so much love and support for wholeness. so many glimmers of perfect light.
Haiku your heart here or here
I am so sorry that I have been away from everyone's blogs or I would not have missed that this was happening with you and your family. I love that you have been using your photography and your blog in such a heartfelt and expressive way to work through this very difficult period. These small acts of love and devotion, the glimmers and sparkles of light within the shadows and dark night of the soul are what help us to hold on. This energy is transmitted to those we love as well. I truly believe that. You have a beautiful heart.
Much Love to you and your daughter,
Noelle
