and i bought empty pages waiting for words
and i waded throught the heat
and i didn't visit the cemetery.
i ate strawberries instead
and watched a henry fonda movie
and i let her cat wander in and out of my house.
it seemed enough.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sending hugs to you. it was a day we made it through. that is always enough.
ReplyDeleteYour words are so beautiful and poetic. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteyes it is more than enough. my mom's birthday is this friday and i sent my dad a present for it... seemed like the right thing to do. we have no heat - only grey and it is driving me crazy. why does it seem to be only one or the other?
ReplyDeleteEmpty pages waiting for words. My mind is like that sometimes ~ my heart is so full, my desire to express alight ... and yet Words, well - sometimes Words are simply not enough.
ReplyDeleteI think you honoured her beautifully, blank pages and all.
what wonderful moments of a day for remembering
ReplyDeleteyour memories, your thoughts, not written just yet - i think it was enough.
ReplyDeleteyou made it through .. blessings friend
