Day 34
February 3, 2021
RIP Arthur Ratte
No sun today, but no storms either. The woods were filled with trees outlined with snow. I wanted to be a kid again and strike out across the pond, but my balance is not good enough.
I followed this guy for a while. I think I should learn to draw them. His wingspan was long. I think it was almost four feet.
I ran into several flocks of blue jays. I could hear many birds.
I found many hearts in the world today. I was staring at this one while I spoke to Thomas on the phone. He told me about his father's dying and the peace that he and sisters found in the end. Another friend had a daughter die of COVID today. I could feel his strong sense of mourning. He didn't have the same closure. Death, in some ways is so beautiful, but so heavy, too hard at times, but soothing at others.
Some days are just filled with opposites and opposite emotions that tug you back and forth from one to the next. Some days it is extremely important to just stay in the moment with each and every emotion that arises. This was one of those days.
Lindy, I'm not sure how to comment sometimes. I know it is whatever comes to me, but I am so moved by your thoughts and photographs that I want to talk about them, yet then I feel if we were together, sitting in silence and just being in the same space is what would be what's real for the moment. Since I feel I am rambling I'm going with one of the parts that moved me ..."And I felt some strength in my aloneness in my blanketed world. "
ReplyDeleteThis speaks volumes to my heart.
I'm so glad it resonates with you, Janet. I'm getting more used to it; used to using it as a venue for sharing what I am thinking and feeling given I have no one in my house to just spill onto. I like it. Thanks so much for reading and responding.
DeletePoetic... that is pure and you
