I could see it before I could feel it. The blades of grass were dancing in such a way that I had to blink and then remind myself that no hallucinogens had been willingly consumed for breakfast. But they did it again, a kind of hopping and bending over each other, a pause. A dazzling bright green. The trees took up the cue and then I felt a cool pressure on my cheek, like a Grandmotherly reassurance of, “There, there, all will be well.” The breeze seemed to be everywhere all at once and yet without a specific direction of destination. And it was soundless. I felt the hairs rise on my forearms but not from fear but rather recognition. These were the winds of change surrounding me. After what has been a challenging year and one filled with great sadness and hatred in the world, I closed my eyes, flooded with relief at their arrival. Let them blow. I hope to push them on to you. Open and up we go.
And so it is a New Year.
I welcome it and I am sending out to you and yours my deepest wishes that it be wonderful, full of wonder, wonderful.
With much Love from Provence,
Heather
Beginnings…I like that Mary Sue. I hope the same for you!
Thank you Deborah…and I am sending those wishes back to you in strength around the world. I love your image of a field of unmarked snow. And I am glad that you liked the photos – a little dark perhaps for a New Years Day post but alas the sun has been in hiding for weeks and I need to work with what I have!
Bisous.
Oooh, thanks for giving me the heads up about that Donna. Off I go…
To you too! Thank you for having been such a loyal reader friend.
Yes!
Merci Bonnie!
Woot woot!!! Oh I really hope so!!! Uzès is calling youuuuu….and I am toooo… 🙂
And that is my favorite too. I am actually really proud of that photo!
Wow. You really know how to give a compliment, my friend. I knew his name of course but was so excited when I googled the series. I don't deserve the link at all but the geometry was what I was going for! There are a bunch that are even more abstract that I didn't publish (and a good thing because holy cow did I have a lot of unsubscribers from this post) that I might send to you. Thank you so much…with all of my heart!
Oh how I would love your coming to visit finally more than anything! I kind of think it might happen this year…then uh-oh…look out…the roads of Provence will become a little more dangerous with me driving on them!!! Thank you for your amazing friendship, Elizabeth.
Thank you Lily's Grannie and Happy New Year to you as well! Ah, to be in California… 🙂
