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
Merci Janey! 🙂
And I wish the same for you, Loree.
Bisous.
We get a new canvas…hopefully we can paint a calmer more peaceful year. I am looking forward to it. Happy New Year to you too Heather. janey
Lovely sentiments, dear heather. I too hope that there will be less cruelty in the world this year. More peace. More love. More of the good things. and I wish you an abundance of them.
Jackie, I love that you and Leslie (above) have the same idea – two women who do spend time dreaming but then take action to make those dreams come true!
You are so amazing, Leslie. And always inspiring. This is so perfectly put. Thank you. *Hug*
Thank you, Edgar. Remi was very right in saying that I needed to include a photo of an OPEN door or window but I didn't have one…not yet at least.
My Best Wishes to you and Mrs. Abstract for 2016!
Lorrie, it really was a kind of magical moment – something special was going on! And thank you for your beautiful wishes. 2015 was hard for us as it was for many people. A bit of gentle loving is most welcome. Happy New Year to you too!
Oh my goodness! How is he doing??? There is such beauty in his new "old" face. Thank you for the kisses and for your friendship Judi.
