soulbrush, yes, seeing through the seaweed to the starfish!
mim, look forward to the better? that's it!! :)
mark, yup. but dammit sometimes...
angela, so sometimes that makes me feel light and sometimes heavy!
sonia, we'd do well with a cup of coffee together. DON"T give up on yourself or be hard on yourself. that is an ORDER!!!
val, oh, what you see. your world is magical and i love being part of it.
deb, spike and bobo may not want to leave you. i had a fish pond in my yard once and had a fish named tillie who honest to god came when i called her. her demise is a sad story... :)
carla, hello!!
suki, that shadow shot is my favorite too. i'm happy you noticed it. xo
Its been raining here the past few days, my 12 year old and I love going for a walk in the rain and trying to see who can find the biggest puddle to jump in and make the biggest splash! Loved this post very much.
I've just spent an enjoyable bit of time catching up on the last few posts that I missed.
Wow!
There is so much, your poems and favorites, your loving tribute, the children, all the photos. You are an amazing person kj. So full of generosity and kindness. It truly is my pleasure to know you. your friend, lori

oh yes,
ReplyDeletei see i see
for me it is all about
seeing not only the bad
but the good underneath!
It certainly is up to us to see. To open our eyes and heart and mind. To remember the good and look forward to better.
ReplyDelete(I'm so poetic - I think I'd better have some more coffee)

ReplyDeleteThe third verse says it all totally and completely KJ.

Lucky you Kj, I just had one of those walks myself last week.
ReplyDeleteAren't they magical?
What's important is that you remembered it's up to you. It didn't take a brick upside the head even though I've tossed a few your way ;)
We all need to chant that mantra. Aren't we all workinh through something?
I'm glad you had such a great day!
love,
Lo

ReplyDeleteSeeing is so important. Isn't it strange we often get perspective on the world around us by stepping away for awhile?
