so i won't use it, but look...
these two images, so different, so much alike...so close to each other yet miles apart
It is officially fall
where we live
the trees, the smells...these beautifully sensuous seasonal treasures
Our last days of summer days we spent at the beach
and it was as summery as summer gets
hot and humid, salty and sandy
I watch daily as the perfect found objects swrivel up and loose their shine
I wish they could stay smooth and glistening forever
and the shells
I place them around my house in special little places where they are seen daily
but don't have to be moved
I segregate them by trips and beaches...but over time I forget...where?!?! when??!
and eventually they all end up in a bowl or jar mixed together with all the other precious memories
A beautiful beach wedding
(my very first)
a long car ride sandwiched between two cousins' weddings
with two of our sons
the one whose own marriage is imminently close and the one away at college
so many things weighing on them
both of their hearts across the Atlantic
one longs to be there
can't get back to her soon enough
bought his plane ticket yesterday...
one wanders while she is away?!?!
says he's tried...
thought all was well...over their summer...but now?!?!
is in that place again?!?
says he didn't tell us everytime I asked, because of all the news of his brother..........
I just don't know
winter comes fast where he is...on the lakefront.....
but not nearly as quickly as it approaches Finland
It already looks cold there
I long to put my arms around her
to take care of her 'trying to understand' heart
I thought my boys were sweet and steadfast
pure and true
I hope... they always will be
