[Normavideo: Poppy shifting in breeze]
https://youtu.be/U6QMEW67EPQ
Now is simply not Big enough for everything To happen in. Wind begins and ends Elsewhere and extends Elsewhen with flowers In its future --flowers Where it has been.
The oriental poppies are just blooming here, and the wind is blowing them here, too. One house I pass has beds along two sides. Almost too much to take it.
Very much like Bert's magical line in Mary Poppins, when the weather vane turns. "Wind's in the east...I think what will happen has all happened before."
If we could capture a precious moment in time and put it in a locket around our neck, open it during the quiet moments of reflection and look at it lovingly, which moment would it be? Each glorious moment leads to the next and continues for as long as our awareness lasts! What a privilege to be a witness to it all........

ReplyDeleteSounds beautiful, Joanne, a chorus of colors.
DeleteThis was a lovely way to say that nothing is really new. It has all happened before and will happen again.

ReplyDeleteYour comment reminds me of the excellent and courageous Jim Croce's "If I could put time in a bottle..."
DeleteLovely poppies, and I agree with Emma's comment.
ReplyDeleteKind Linda, indeed we can't witness color and vigor like poppies and not believe in magic.
