  1. judybarton – Still in love, complicated, almost stupid, interested to recognize herself. "Up to the age of eighteen years old everybody writes poems; after, only two categories of people may continue to do it: poets and idiots." (Benedetto Croce). Obviously I do not consider myself a poet.

    … as orange pearls
    in the dark night,
    as your lips, smiles
    into my black thoughts

    Could I continue your words with my silly ones?
    oh, sorry! It was not possible to resist …

        Oh Catherine … I stole your image and your words and I shared them in my blog, making a mess of them … may I do so?

  2. Catherine–this reminds me of a sermon when I heard about how just as a pearl is always presented against a backdrop of black velvet–so God’s grace is always most palpable against the backdrop of a dark time–perhaps as we are currently experiencing as a country right now. This beautiful picture of these glorious gems of God’s creation cogently reminded me of that–for which I am grateful.

    1. George, thank you so much for sharing that. Looking deeply into nature I am reassured of the abundance of grace and gently reminded that there is, in spite of everything, so very much to be grateful for.

  3. Gail – Indiana – Life is full of fascinating moments. Being a good listener can help you see the world through the eyes of others. It not only enriches your understanding, but provides a deeper level of connection. I find that one sentence can tell an intriguing story.
