Under the sun

Have you ever noticed, I mean really noticed, that it's all the bright side?

There is so much brightness in my life, but the dark is trying very hard to eclipse the bright. Very hard. Very, very hard. I am at peace with my brother's passing because I KNOW that he is not gone, but it's all of the life stuff that he left behind that is dark and sad and lonely.

Beautiful picture! I want to be back in the sunshine again. But I won't be able to fully experience that until I can bring my nieces there with me. Against my better nature, I must fight...And fight for them I will.

Hugs and love,

Karen Maezen Miller said...: I love your wit, Marta. I'm afraid from the looks of things most of us are over-screened. That's OK. The sun shines whether we see it or screen it.; July 16, 2008 at 9:30 PM

You can't sit still for a moment without being accosted by ants, bees, sweaty children, cicadas, wood-peckers, and a nice breeze. The sunlight filtered through the deep green of summer trees is what does it for me. Our neighborhood morning dove is on her third batch of babies.

Pam said...: My favourite bright side experiene is flying in a plane away from the sunrise. To look back out of the window along the golden clouds is just magic.; July 18, 2008 at 11:23 PM
