...11.4.12...










 
when i die, she said, 
i'm coming back as a tree with deep roots
& i'll wave my leaves at the children every morning
on their way to school 
& whisper tree songs at night in their dreams.
trees with deep roots know 
about the things children need.

i once had a garden
filled with flowers
that grew only on dark
thoughts
but they needed constant 
attention
& one day i decided
i had better things
to do.
~storypeople

i think.
that story.
says it all.
welcome to coffee hour.
welcome to this Sunday morning.
just BE.

Beautiful, serene snow and two wonderful poems. The second one, especially, speaks to me today.

noooooooooo!!!!

Love your snowy pictures and your words Robin. Snow is pretty but hard work to get around - hope you're not snowed in.

Excellent quotes with your snowy photos Robin. I especially love the pic with the American flag and pumpkin popping out through the snow. Such eye catching and serene contrast to the blanket of pure white snow.
And I wouldn't mind some of the white stuff right about now...it is so pretty.
Cheers,
Leah

You have an unusual photographic eye! I have started an etching of a snow scene, so your snow photos got my particular attention. One doesn't feel so safe trapped ten floors up, one discovers! Thanks for your thought - I think I am going to look to live closer to the ground!!!!
