drove this afternoon,
so I wouldn’t have to listen to my thoughts
the music helped, but I keep thinking on how everything has changed.
no, not just foliage within the trees or in the depths of the ditches, but in all cases.
there’s an old homestead I wanted to take pictures of, my destination was set for the day. Go back and visit what makes sense, Aud.
as I stopped to turn in, a wedding was just letting out,
I smiled at their choice of location. Country, prairie and simple seems easy.
how fun to imagine his stare and all the dresses, the devotion and all the extras.
the children are safe after a weekend with their father, pleasantries were extended,
college life in full swing and real life looks good on them even from afar, babies no longer, maybe now momma
should breathe.
as night settles in – outside – I gave thanks for the light of the moon, peeking through the leaves still green,
as bright as a headlamp, it would seem, and brought with it an element of peace.
my prayers for you the same today as yesterday, and I’ll visit them again with each tomorrow.
yes, so much is changing and maybe it’s time,
yet I’m fully aware, even with faith in our Lord, I am frightened and full of sorrow.

There is something about looking back and seeing all the changes ~ some good and some surprising, and always a twist of wondering what could have been… and then with a brave voice inside, a deep breathe, wondering what can be. I love moments and days like this. Your words make me a bit wistful this Sunday afternoon… and it is a good thing. Thank you 🙂

Wistful feels nice, I think. Seeing the change within our present is a gift. One just has to smile, right?! Thank you, my Photographer Philosopher Extraordinaire for your visit. I feel seen and heard when you are near. You are quite a sight for my Tuesday morning. Hugs!

Evocative musings, Audrey, and yes, it’s time to breathe. Change can be surreal, can’t it? Hugs, my friend. xo
