,ABC Wordless Wednesday ,Our World Tuesday ,Wordless Wednesday NC Sue,, ,and Tina's Pic Story "wordless Wednesday".
And down below two hearts images for Random Heart Thursday.I am exploring the curve. I thought I would be dancing inside the curve. I thought I would be comforted by the curve. January found me outside the curve. Clinging, grasping, sliding - surrendering to the free fall. I slide off the edge.

Looking closely at this close up- you can see a layer from Bonnie over at Pixel Art Photo- Thank you Bonnie!
You helped me hang on
The curved umbrella of faith poofing open with a muffled grace.
I step back from the edge onto a clean kitchen floor.
I stoop to to fill the empty dog bowl with water.
I see it was not empty after all.
It is a bowl full of sunshine.
Over and over again, life is strung together by moments of grace.

These little bird statues study a heart shaped leaf on my front porch. Happy Valentines Day - I hope it was lovely.

And here you must look closely to find a little angel watching over a sideways heart. Everyday I am blessed.
Your art and reflections are moving, Teri. Love the birds checking out the heart!!
ReplyDeleteOh Teri, this is so lovely. The whole of it and each part.
ReplyDeleteI love how you say you are studying the curve. While that may "mean" something entirely else to YOU, to me it speaks volumes about the dance BEtween Holding On and Letting Go. [as Ginger Rogers DOing so backward in heels]
There is a simplicity of sweet grace in your post. Thank you so very much for sharing it here where it gets to bless me and my day.
Thank you Currie. We find ways to BE with life. Stay blessed.
DeleteVery interesting studying the curve....love it! What sweet foto of the heart leaf...amazing what you find in nature isn´t it. Hope you are well and having a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteHey Cynnie- Nature brings me such clarity.
DeleteSuch an interesting concept - aiming your focus to one shape, the curve. Love the little birds too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit Gracie- appreciate the comment.
DeleteLive throws us curve balls. Usually I can't catch the straight tosses either. But we do what we can to get by. And sometimes we are lucky to have the help of a curved hand and arm to help pull us up, to help us take notice of sweet ordinary things.
ReplyDeleteThanks and hugs.
That should be life not live. My latest curve - sinus issues. Drip...drip...drip.
DeleteHey Jules- We do get by, thanks to friends like you and all the little blessings in our lives.
DeleteTeri, your beautiful words have lifted my spirits. I, too, have been sliding off the edge. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSharmon- Moments of pause and creative release. Wishing all this and more.
DeleteI like this! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brigitta
DeleteI can't forget the way the colors play with the light ~ or that you have a clean kitchen floor:) Hope your Valentine's Day was lovely, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces! I love the second one.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what "curves" you may be experiencing but just know they won't last forever.
ReplyDeleteYour piece is wonderful. I love the sense of movement in them and the wonderful color.
Stay calm and as they say, carry on. Hugs!
