the sky, the snow, the land
the beaver dam
i was too timid to cross
little drainages
one the beaver did not
blue and blue and some red catkins
the stream north
and south
shadow play
gold and silver
and magic to draw you in
and...
the pantone postcard project
for emily martin.
i am getting used to
not being homebound by necessity
and love.
strange freedom.
Enjoying BLUE mixed in with all the white... and green, here, constantly with the hemlocks.
ReplyDeleteI know that feeling of bound to home. Having a cat that is somewhere closer to a dog... who needs to go for walks and cannot STAND being home alone too long. Well... I make decisions based on him. People think I'm a little crazy ( they're right) but, I just think of it as doing my time as if I had children - and he's waaaay less expensive :)
feels a little rudderless, strange after all these years.
ReplyDeleteThey do this to us....more than any other.
ReplyDeleteRuder less is an apt description, though the freedom to wander into the blue world is a kind of consolation. What wonderful photos as always...such noticing. Still, I know--I know. Your original post and the subsequent one had me reminiscing, so I posted a nameless reference to critter-loss and a moving poem by Wislaw Szymborsca in a part of my own last blog post. My friendship to you.
ReplyDeleteit is amazing how much of our daily routine revolves around furry friends, and how we don't realize it until there is a terrible emptiness. the pictures are gorgeous, I hope you are finding comfort in your beautiful outdoors.
ReplyDeletethe comforting murmur of the brook.
ReplyDeletenancy, yes
ReplyDeletems, i will travel over to read soon--been on th erun a bit
jean, yes, the land offers huge consolation
neki, it sings and chuckles and whispers...
V- looks like the land is coming to life again; maybe difficult to enter the spirit of joyous times without your trust companion but her spirit will still walk with you. B
ReplyDeletebarry, yes, just beginning to ice out, and i'm adjusting.
