Persistence
This thistle, outside my window, stood taller than me last week. Big rain and big wind knocked it (I want to say her, because I so much relate) down and I thought ok, that’s that…
Bloomed. Still going. Prickles and all. Butterfly food. It’s good to be able to keep going when others depend on you.
A few scraps came together in defiance.
Persistence I called this. Can you relate?
Wishing, Just Going, and Holding the Light
This one is in the shop today. One in the Stray Selves Series. I have been in silent random drop in mode for July. This one a bit of a wanderer. I’ll be back to New and Full Moon updates from now on. Try to seem organized. Try to finish up some larger work. Try to stay positive.
Jude~ There is a large tree near The Bridge that fell over in the rushing waters of last December. There it lay, rootball to the sky, but continuing to grow. Fascinating and inspiring. Thistles are so beautiful to me, even when they are brown and dry.
A tiny flowering thistle caught my eye...and camera...today. The grass had been mowed, but this little beauty grew back, and it lifted my spirits.
I especially like this beast...gone already....poof 🤗
