So many ideas. So many ways to say what there is to say. So important to say it.
Experiments to run.
Mango popsickles to eat in front of the computer screen.
Sumi ink ... one of my biiiigggg secrets. shhhhhh...
floating above the beauty
gathering in the miracles (thanks, Ruth)
gathering in the saints
meals of flowers and fruit
in the shade of the Druid's tree
the bells of laughter
warm faces of angels
new life, rescued and safe now
precious precious precious
so much beauty your heart crumbles
goats that think they're dogs
how to capture it
to soothe us in the winter
to prove it really happened
namaste
it indeed is all so wonderful it crumbles the heart.

ReplyDelete(sorry for the sad times lost)
We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have. - frederick keonig

Wonderful journal pages. Sitting under the Druid tree is my dream.
ReplyDeleteYou're really living life again Judy. I love to see the progression of your journal page. All that delicious summer food too, while we settle down to bowls of hot soup.
ReplyDeleteSumi ink... when I see it on your pages it looks embossed, and shiny. Thanks for sharing your secret, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKittens! And just general wonderful-ness.

Beautiful pages and photos... curious about the expression "Espittitus Santus"... what does that translate to and is that Latin?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a wonderful afternoon with us Judy! Your spirit shines in this post & even more in person :) I treasure our friendship...
ReplyDeleteEspiritus Santus means holy spirit. I think I'm spelling it wrong. Spanish I'm pretty sure. I scribbled it down when a friend told me it was the name of a place in Mexico.
ReplyDeleteoh how quickly i would swap lives with you for a day if we could.
ReplyDeletesuch a beautiful life you share here with us.
hope you are doing great dear judy. i heard you had a fun play date today, yay for girlfriends! yay for life!

ReplyDeleteI have never used Sumi ink. WHAT? Where are my priorities!
The kitties gave me a little teardrop. so sweet..
My journal about the same week is at the same "not finished yet" point as in your photo.. love to see the same dates and a totally different "feel" to the week (although mine is happy too...) Your pics are gorgeous and I LOVE the "druid tree"... oh how I long for a druid tree to grow near! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeletea totally lovely post - I had to view it on my phone with a magnifying glass on holiday - now I can see it on a bigger screen it's even yummier!
ReplyDeleteI love the progression of the journal pages scattered in with the stunning family photos...beautiful Judy!!!
