he is, she realises wryly, rather like a flower: one that believes its brightness to be dependent on the sun, and then sees, surprised in the falling darkness - desolation unfolding into delight - a colour and a beauty all its own.
her secret fears were unfounded.

I LOVE this picture, Lynn...and the words, as well. Yes, time does heal, doesn't it? That's a line I've reminded myself of many times in the last few days. And not even just about myself...but wishing it for others, as well. Sweet photo of you and your son, too.
ReplyDeletewhat a marvelous extraordinary reflection!
ReplyDeletethe words linked with the flowers are wonderful...
Lynn, so powerful having a tremendous synergy between words and image. Your touch has shown the ordinary to be extroidinary. What an inspiration to carry through my day.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm taking this one for myself!! ;) Lovely and inspirational words.

Time heals, but it's the sun that reflects the beauty
ReplyDeleteThe sun reveals what is already there.
ReplyDeleteYou have a rare gift of your own for illluminating and revealing. And for making me think.
Thank you.
