What I know today

Dragonfly painted last week

I know I am heading in the right direction.

It is neither North or South or East or West.

It is inward.

I am mining for gold and lost treasure.

On a grand hunt for broken pottery of another time

that are longing to be turned into a colorful mosaic.

Last week was a week of ups and downs.  Worry and hope and joy were felt for a friend far away.  Longing was felt for a friend close by. Books were returned. Packages were mailed.  Recycling was sorted and taken away. Feelings were worn on sleeves, tears were shed, hugs were shared, and time marched on. Walls were painted as well as dragonflies in blue and in green.  Ladders were climbed and fallen off of too. There was kind doctoring to scraped skin by Pap Bear. Weeds were pulled and flowing conversations were shared between Mother and Daughter in the middle of crouching and pulling, hauling and raking....about life, and love, and about plants of course. Dinner was shared between family and a baby was held and passed around and loved.  A little dog whimpered and cried that never makes a peep in this way.  Hours of soothing and rubbing and up and down gave way to a 4:30 am trip to the emergency vet. Hearts were thumping in throats and tears kept at bay for as long as possible.  Relief was breathed and later coffee was brewed to help stave off sleep a few hours more.  A baby shower was missed. A confrontation was avoided.  Snuggling and deep sleep was had. Ceiling fans and tops of cabinets were cleaned. Walls were sanded. Cracks were caulked.  A pizza was ordered. Conversations flowed, stories and confidences were shared.  Storms washed away previous work done outdoors.  Sleep came early. Sunday was slow and relished like it had not been for months.  Pancakes were eaten and pajamas worn as the outfit of the day. 

Much Light and Love to you as you go about your week.
