Peaceful post. Your reference to cornflower blue in the box of Crayola crayons made me smile and remember...

Cornflower Blue definitely brought me a sense of peace. I am going to seek it out and use it for my meditations.

A Wild Rose blooms and grows

at this time we remember those

who have gone beyond too soon

so that we may all be safely free.

May we not waste our young military men and

women on frivolous, greedy or unjust causes.

A marvel and a wonder are perfect descriptors of our collective being on this planet each day

As long as we can keep our enthusiasm for it. If that were our goal every day instead of a mile long to-do list.

We all get there, it's just that some of us have to croak first.

That’s what I’m trying to avoid! I’m so grateful to have an opportunity to live and learn. What a place this earth and this universe is 🤍

Ha ha, that's what we're all trying to do! I feel that every day is a new opportunity to reinvent yourself, to begin again, no matter who you were before. That thought brings me great comfort and gratitude.

I'm thankful that you are a writer. You write with a depth and lightness, that not many are gifted with, and insight is expressed like no other. Thank you. My life path has similar trails, singer/songwriter, mother of a disabled child, divorced from my child's father, parents that were musicians. I admire your strength and I'm grateful for you.

Just getting used to this and it doesn't look like I am signed in as anyone, with no picture. I'm not so mysterious though, I will sort it out (you can check me out here: https://andymelrose99.wixsite.com/mysite/blog) But I just wanted to say how much I really like your writing. The personal entwined with the observational reads like a hand-stitched tapestry and I look forward to following you more. Good luck with everything.
