so…the B side of the SunFlower as she faces East,  her countenance up lifted to Sun on the Rise

and the "magic" stuff,  glowing blue green.  Just be fore i left yet again this morning.  Just see it and go..and to all who by necessity work full time,  rise to leave to make their living each day,  i send Love because it is not how IT wants it to be.  We know that.  but we keep leaving.  Like i left today.

i say…Please Wait!,  like last night and run for the camera and yes…waiting,  so ok.

How beautyFULL,  the eyes.  The PeaceFULLness the gentleness.  The willingness to Wait.

and FRAZy FORd….Done.

over in the right,  side bar and also be sure to note that you can click bottom right, Full Screen.

I watch this.  over and over and try to see what all,  what ALL i love about it.  Don't know yet,  but a reviewer said that it's " The Anthem for calling it quits".    It rose up again for me during this Old Cowboy time,  but really is only indirectly referential to him and that scenario,  but well…also applies,   in that it's a Claiming.  A claiming of self.????

"my joy,  my joy takes nothing from you"

what do these words mean for me??????????  my joy,  my joy takes nothing from you

those words,  but then…the All of it and i think,,,,,,How BEAUTY FULL are Women.  Watching them here,  how just so tenderly Beauty Full is womanhood.  the complexity of it all,  the complexity of Us…and including all of Us who appear here…women.  Women.  How we have so much.  And choose

choose

to Give it

and after the goingness of the giving,  we begin to Learn.

    That’s truly just the BEST line “My Joy, my takes nothing from you.” It has many meanings and yes the song moves me, and the women too, these young women moving in the world and taking their joy!
    This sunflower, This toad….their joy takes nothing from us. It just is. Kisses to all.

    Here in the early morning, after a bit of rain last night, I walked, down a trail behind the “bigger houses” and rabbits were everywhere, counted 6 white cotton tails. There is something renewing about walking after a rain, the freshness of the air, the scent of wet dirt sandy land that lends itself to quiet, deep thoughts, introspection. I stopped, stilled myself, breathed deeply, let the soft colors soften my stance, soft colors to the land, lavender, the color of coral mallow flowers, even in the desert, many shades of green from limey to sage to a deeper green and now and then that jolt of yellow from assorted weeds. As I looked and breathed the dialog in my head said how we as women have a softness to our fierceness, much like this landscape. This soft fierceness that we use to take it all on, side A of life, side B of life. Sometimes it is a choice that we make to take it all on, other times it just is and we step up and just go and I think the lesson learned is how we adapt to what presents…

    am in the garden a lot these days, either that or the office (not to mention flash/visit to my old folks who returned very ill after their first time cruise, never again; they´re on the mend a bit like your dress: thin and worn but still going strong) very little time with the laptop, missing a lot here…….so lots of catching up to do, fortunately for me, your life moves slowly, slow in a good way
    the Toad is BIG, how considerate of Him to wait till you got a camera!
