My two youngest granddaughters and Miss CallieOldest granddaughter with someone special in Jamaica
Storm is gone
Sky clear:
River reflecting a tranquil moon.
What hour of night is it?

Poem arrived from over the ocean
One daughter arriving home from New Orleans
One daughter driving home with little one and my patio umbrella
One daughter lost her cell phone
Special letter and pictures from Jamaica
A welcome call from granddaughter in New York
One woman's head has been filled with issues that she thought she had overcome.
Reminding her once again that it is a journey.
She may never arrive.
Rest, compassion for others and herself - a continual practice that must never stop.
This early morning - all is well
Just sometimes wish this journey was not going at such a rapid pace
Difficult to just "be" when there is so much that is unfinished
So much yet to learn.....

E,
Isn't it the truth, we just keep spiraling back to so many things that we think we are so over, and yet, here they are once again!
You have company on this journey:)
shannon, thank you - it helps to know have traveling companions :)
Your determination is so impressive. There are just some journeys we must make alone. Thankfully, love comforts us during our travels. I can remember wondering at one point in my life if I would EVER learn a particular lesson that seemed so clear at the time, yet I seemed to make the wrong turn, time after time! Inevitably I would find myself sitting in the same box of grief and anxiety! Some lessons are just complex; our emotions muddy the waters so easily. I wish you peace and am glad you are being compassionate with yourself. Such a gift!
All the family communications and connections sound heartwarming and fun. Busy life you have.
Love the pictures and we loved the "new" (to us) patio umbrella We ate dinner outside last night!
Sky, thank you for your special words. My Jamie, thanks for dropping in.
I really dislike those issues and don't know why they resurface from time to time. Must have been a big influence on our life and probably good in a way, as it made us the magnificient, caring, loving women we are today!
Judy, you make me smile. Have a good day. Hope Fred gets better..
E,

Thought of you when I read this this AM:)
Also, love the picture of the BEAUTIFUL Dogwood:)
E. it is not a Dogwood, is it? A Flowering Crabapple?
Oh Ernestine, you have arrived...right here, right now. Each breath a death and a renewal. Each breath announces "Here I am." And here you are.
Shannon - it is a Japanese Cherry tree. Dear Laura, thank you for your special words....
I attribute my restlessness at this time of year to spring fever. There are so many things to do that can only be done when the weather warms. We need more time here ~ our Maine woods got 3 1/2 inches of fresh snow last night.
