Early in the week, I was sunk in a fog of self-imposed, self-centered gloom, living in the past and the future - both real bad neighborhoods.

No amount of glorious spring rain or prayers for help could lift my heart. God seemed remote as the moon.

Yesterday God's help came in the form of a listening ear and wise words from a fellow human being - angels suddenly apparent everywhere. My stick said 'Live and Let Live'.
Heart soars again in this day...
...this moment, this morning hour when
everything is just as it should be and I don't feel compelled to judge any of
the amazing NOW. Hey, thanks God, for doing for me what I cannot do for myself once again.

| The first salmon berry blossoms are here! |
First: that salmonberry flower is a beauty! (never heard of)
ReplyDeleteSecond: despite the gloomy face I really had to smile about the red buttons !!
Third: do you turn your paper around every now and then ?
Fourth(and the best): it seems a bit like an open door and you never really think about it,but: when you need it most, help is always near ! Glad you found a loving friend who provided some time to listen and the right words to your problems, chin up again ! (you know, next time around YOU will be the good friend for someone else ;-)) !!!)
the visual resonance of the art with the journey seems especially striking in this post
ReplyDeleteso glad you had an angel appear, sometimes the best angels have feet, not wings
thanks for the reminder that we can all be an angel to someone today
I like what Kel May says. I have been in the place you have been many times and probably will many times again. Thank you for sharing your humanness.

Thank you, all, for your kind comments! Salmonberry flower is the precursor to the salmonberry, a useful edible berry similar in looks to a raspberry but much blander. We make jelly by blending their juice with apple juice. I do turn my paper around , yes – something useful I learned in art school.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so true, next time I will be the listener – don’t you love how our helping hands weave back and forth! Happy week to all, sus
