Flowering



I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.

  3. Stories do happen all around me - my permission is never needed. I do nurture them, however, and whisper sweet nothings into their ears, knowing their growth only adds to mine.

    These photos are gorgeous. You must live a quite a fairyland of flowers.

  5. Wonderful colours... I am very fond of water droplets on flowers. Always gives them that extra stunning feel :-)

    And such wise words from the much adored by me Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

  8. Lush... it is a word I rarely have need to use, but it is the only thing that comes to mind when I look at these and everything that precedes them.

    You my beautiful friend have such a lushness about you... your heart, your art, and your spirit too.

    My dictionary says " Characterized by abundance and opulence"...

    Yes, you my dear jaime are incredibly lush.
