To all of you, by friends of blogland
I thank you for your caring friendship and wonderful visits!
When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of gratitude.
I feel grateful for each of you.
Thank you for being in my life.

opening slowly
with quiet listening
with quiet listening
my heart greets winter
taking in the details of each day
and night
temperatures that drop
severly
a blanket of snow that cloaks all life
I will be your apprentice
feeling with my heart
I will be your apprentice
feeling with my heart
listening with
ears and eyes
blending with my
skin and spirit
I invite you
into my dreams
lift my spirit to take flight
into the realm of winter wonderland
in this season
what will you instill in me

Sissy Clytie is right--you paint your world not only in photographs and artwork, but in words.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing, my dear Friend! I am just now getting caught up from the Holiday rush--and was caught spellbound by these incredible images. I even called my Beloved in to view them. We both agree you are an amazing artist.

You are precious, you know.
