“All life needs rejuvenation”.. So true, yet we seem to take such little time.

We’ve been given so many great examples in nature. I’m watching the leaves on the trees in my backyard in awe of the autumn changes.
Thanks, Rick! Have a great day!

Very colorful here. I am missing Clare. It suddenly struck home to me today: this gnawing feeling is deeper than I realized. Clare: come home!

Enjoying myself, in spite of everything. Watching Trump dance is amazing … the high wire … the clown suit … the red cheeks … the umbrella … the absence of the safety net …

Beautiful . . . and I especially like the style (?) of poetry that you use: very short, crisp, pointed and sectioned off by interconnected words that form a meaning unto themselves, i.e. GIVING, SOOTHING, DREAMING, WAKING. I’m really very tempted to try this myself! 🙂 All the best to you w/blessings!

Thank you so much! I think words are like legos, you just play with them until you get something you like. I hope you do try it and have a great time in the process. I would love to read what you come up with. Blessings your way also and have a wonderful weekend!😊

We’re all tree-huggers at heart, I believe … wish I could still climb them!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Lol…my mom still climbs trees in her late sixties (collecting wild grapes and bow hunting), and my nearly ninety year old grandmother still golfs.
The only excuse that I would have for not climbing one would be laziness.
The bar has been set high.
The leaves are changing in my backyard. I want to go hug a few of those trees.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!

Thanks. In my case the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Hats off to your mom and grandma, though …

It’s interesting to watch the cycle of the seasons. Some people feel sad at this time of year, but I don’t. The falling of the leaves is just one part of the process of renewal. Snow covered, in bud or in full foliage–the trees and plants have something to teach us about life’s cycle at every time of year.

Hi Tanya,
I know Jacqueline.
What a poem! I loved your metaphor of the dead skin needing exfoliation. Your photo fits the mood. I’m always trying to improve my blog photography.
I met you on Gary’s site. You liked his feature of me, so I came by to thank you and introduce myself.
