Share the Joy



the once vibrant becomes a
bit musty and faded
like aging heirloom lace


its last chapters nearing completion


aging with dignity and grace



one need not be brilliant 
to show true beauty.


Heart Thought: these beautiful faded blooms are now resting, in a wooden bowl. Come spring their tiny seeds will edge our garden in masses of vibrant color.

  2. What a magical thing -- to be able to savor the last bit of color, to watch the withering process, all the while knowing that there will be a renewal when (with your help) the seeds are scattered. Ok - I'm a dork, but that makes me tear up a little bit because it so speaks to seasons of life and the hope or promise of new starts.

  4. Ah, yes - the circle of life. From vibrance to wilted to seed to new life. A beautiful reminder of that continuous cycle of change.
