This path I “accidentally” ended up on in life is not the nicest yet I have been seeking out nice and having success with finding it. I am now at my sister’s place after my stay at the hospital and being so very thankful for the exceptional care and compassion I received by all who took me under their wing. Each and every person could not have been nicer! Now under my sister’s wing, it is nice to know she is right there with a healthy load of that care and compassion. There are many weeks ahead of me of down time which I have already added an upswing to, starting with the reminder not to judge a book by the cover!

Hello Alexandra,
ReplyDeleteI wish you a speedy recovery. I am glad you are well looked after! Your paintings of the Crow and the Dandelions are beautiful. I agree about appreciating the small things, I am always on the lookout on my walks, there is always something to see. Take good care of yourself, sending healing prayers. Have a great weekend.
PS, I noticed you linked up your post, thanks so much for sharing your post and crow critter.
ReplyDeleteDear Alexandra,
ReplyDeleteThough life’s rough detour came unplanned,
You’ve walked it with a steady hand.
With brush and pen, and soul so wide,
You’ve found the nice that pain can’t hide.
Your crow, in shades both bold and true,
Reflects the strength that lives in you.
A clever bird with feathers black—
Yet light and depth in every crack.
The dandelions, in youthful grace,
Have danced their way across your space.
From golden bloom to whispered flight,
You’ve caught them in their softest light.
May days ahead be kind and slow,
With healing in each breath you know.
And may your art, so rich and wise,
Lift you like crows in summer skies.
Wishing you peace, patience, and petals,
John
